This story about Chuck Schumer is almost too wild to believe. For at least 30 years Schumer has written and spoken about Joe and Eileen Bailey, a middle-class couple living in Long Island. He has provided detailed backstories about the couple, including their occupations, their children, family medical scares, and their opinions on immigration, the Vietnam war, tax cuts, etc.

The problem? These "people" don't exist. Schumer made them up and has been telling phony stories about them for more than 30 years. This John Oliver segment goes into some details on the fictional family:



Unbelievable. Schumer bases his political decisions on how a fictional family, one he made up, would view the issue.

Wow. More proof that everything he says is a lie. It reminds me of Sweet Tooth, a character in a show I'm watching while my wife is on a business trip called Twisted Metal (mindless violent entertainment). His best friend is a brown paper bag that he named Harold.

What does Harold think about the ICE crackdowns?
 
Who can forget Harold

For the most part, Sweet Tooth is inspired by and characterized by his depictions in later games. However, there is one addition to his character here that ties all the way back to his introduction in the first game. When Sweet Tooth is showing John around, he makes sure to introduce John to his friend Harold — who is a crumpled-up brown paper bag. This obviously creeps John out and things only get weirder when Harold is shown sitting in a chair magically flipping the lights with a nearly empty drink by his side after Sweet Tooth completes his show. Harold is a bizarre character, but he actually has a funny history in "Twisted Metal" that dates back to the original game.

When Sweet Tooth wins the original tournament, he confronts Calypso with the wish to have his only friend Harold back by his side. To Calypso's dismay and bewilderment, Sweet Tooth wants to have this bag that's named "Harold the Wacky Lunch Sack" as Sweet Tooth sees it as his best friend. With Harold back in his possession, Sweet Tooth gleefully drives off reunited with his bestie. It's a pretty awesome Easter egg that longtime Sweet Tooth fans will just love and adds another twisted layer to his character in the series.

No, I'd have get another divorce if that were the case. She's a Director of Nursing in charge of opening new facilities in other states for a company based here. And she's a "fixer" for existing locations.
 
Don’t forget that he puts cheese on raw hamburgers on his unlit grill.
 
No wonder the Dems and their followers are so in tune with Hollywood. Its all "make believe"....


 
I think he started out saying they were made up. But then over the years talked about them as if they were real people. Weird stuff
 
Too uppity to be associated with any middle class working people in real life so he makes them up.
