In which ‘talking points’ is defined as any statement made by someone Heraldo didn’t vote for

Newman’s big head

In which Heraldo scrapes the very bottom of the news barrel

Tap into your tap

HSU students promote tap water over bottled water.

And bong water over both of those.

In which finally something useful is discussed

Keep it up

Need to learn how to pick up the ladies?  Make more money?  Maintain an erection?

Throw in a bit about the meaning of life and I think all the bases are covered.
