Baldwin, though a bit too protectionist for me, at least seems to believe in his maker as supreme, and is quite skeptical of government taking care of things.

Did you ever try that free slushie day at 7-11?
Was that today? Damn. I would go but my schedule is pretty packed. I gotta clip my toe nails around 11am and then the blue slushie I plan on buying around 12:15 pm.
Lovely. Read us the rest of your schedule, Oh Maker of Truth.
I will not be there.
