    Aside from the order to report to prison, this is definitely my favorite part:

      Bannon needs to excuse his behavior by explaining that the amount of cocaine he uses tends to give him some false confidence.

        I am staunchly against cocaine. Not because I think drugs are bad, but because people on cocaine are really, really annoying. lol
