Sorry, anyone who has a $120,000 watch deserves to have it stolen. I'm all for wealth and don't generally stress executive salaries, but like Justice Potter Stewart, I know obscenity when I see it.

Everybody needs to commit right now to never watching another episode of the West Wing ever again. It’s broken brains.

I’m sorry but if you steal an airport you should be allowed to do whatever you want. They’re huge. Very impressive.
