LET ME RUIN YOUR NIGHT FOR ONE SECOND, HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS YET? OF COURSE YOU HAVEN'T, BECAUSE NOBODY IS LOOKING AT KANSAS POLITICS AT ONE IN THE MORNING EXCEPT ME, BUT SENATOR ROGER MARSHALL HAS HIS LAWYERS FIRING OFF CEASE-AND-DESIST LETTERS TO HIS DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT ADAM HAMILTON OVER THIS WHOLE CAMPAIGN AD HE CALLS DEFAMATORY, AND THE THING IS THE AD IS ABOUT A WOMAN NAMED MEISCHA ZIMMERMAN WHO SAYS SHE GOT ARRESTED AFTER SHE MISSED A FIFTY DOLLAR MONTHLY PAYMENT TOWARDS HER MEDICAL DEBT TO MARSHALL, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE SHE WAS SUED OVER IT AND NOW THE LAWYERS ARE THREATENING LEGAL FIREWORKS OVER THE COMMERCIAL AIRING IT, AND NOBODY HERE EVEN KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WITH THE LAWSUIT THREAT BUT IT IS MESSY AS HELL. ANYWAY, ABSOLUTE SCENES.

ANYWAY I WILL BE THINKING ABOUT THIS IN THE TAXI.
