Fitzmas Bingo Cards for all!

If you've been paying attention to politics lately, you know that it's generally expected that Patrick Fitzgerald is going to be handing down indictments any minute now.

Update: if you go to their speaker page, you'll now notice that they've added one woman (at the very bottom). And I'm sure that's entirely coincidental…
