[Coverage Note: Susan and I will NOT be covering the last session of the day for a very important reason. If we do, we’ll miss our flight back to California and will be forced to spend the night camped out in the Las Vegas airport, where we would very likely end up gambling away our huge Bruce Clay salaries and … Read more
