Hey all, James here settling in for another edition of Golden Nuggets. Things are picking up as interviews are finally being conducted and I haven't much to say other than I have my fingers crossed. I don't know how I feel about any of the candidates, honestly, so I'm most likely going to have the papers and/or you guys tell me how I should feel about them. Then I can either pat you on the back or ridicule you unmercifully depending on whether the particular OC succeeds or fails. So, here's some links.
