#3 During her time at Columbia, Salazar — now running as a progressive Democrat of Jewish faith who supports abortion rights and the people of Palestine — was a Christian right-to-life activist who supported Israel. While she had campaigned as a Colombian immigrant, she was born in the United States to an American mother and Colombian father. Her statements about a working class upbringing have also been called into question by statements from her brother and mother who said the family did not struggle financially.

In fact, the family owned a home next door to Mets legend Keith Hernandez — and Salazar was embroiled in a bizarre legal battle with the ballplayer and his ex-wife that included a claim of an affair, which Salazar has denied, and a libel lawsuit involving accusations of drug use, bank theft and pilfered Pottery Barn vouchers.

#5 "...and pilfered Pottery Barn vouchers." She sounds insane, but the vouchers thing is beyond surreal.

#7 We have a standard kit here at RB that consists of citrus cleaner and Brillo pads. I'm not sure who used it last.

#8 While not 'freight train on a dirt road' fugly, sure ain't no Miss America.

But then again, it is said that Sailors would poke a wood pile if there was a snake in it, so evaluate the above for what its worth.....

#9 My parents? All wet! But don't fret,
I've put that behind me. I'm set
To faithfully labor--
No, not for my neighbor,
But friends that I haven't yet met!
