Scully: Odd, his heart appears to have been 3 sizes larger than normal, but there's stretch marks on his aorta, as if it grew suddenly. What could've done this?
Mulder: Not what, who. Cindy Lou Who.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:
$678M raised through those spam tactics
$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.
