I think it's great she's deciding the presidential election. Our past is rife with small-timers doing back-room deals that affect the tides of history. The bad mascara is just another version of the chewed-up cigar. I think we need to see broad depictions and stock characters to really put this charade in proper light. Can you imagine how awful it would be if we were waiting for Deep Blue to finish the vote count? Hooray for the grifters of both parties!

I got a massage a few years ago, and it was so traumatic I never went back. The guy was yelling at me like my old baseball coach as though all my knots were character flaws. Maybe they were, though. Probably they were.

Sam

P.S.: I knew all of this would have a payoff, despite the Fraygrant abuse. Friend of mine just promised me his copy of the Houellebecq book. Public crucifixion has its perks.
