I like indoor Christmas trees. And I like people who decorate their homes with lights and all that crap. I think it's a healthy outlet for them. If they weren't covering their lawns with twinkling lights, they'd be doing something that was really, really creepy.
My father painted, well into his 80s, what he called hard edge abstractions.It's really cool.
All food is comfort food. Maybe I just like to chew.
All the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911.

Johnny Vassilaros is the man who has created the finest cup of coffee ever served in the city of New York.
None of this seems to affect the leadership, that people don't go out to vote, that they don't feel the need to go vote, that they already feel disenfranchised. It's not just Obama's fault or Clinton's or whomever's, it's all of them, the whole collection of clowns I've had to sit through.
I was a drinker, so I went through the scotches. Before single malts hit, there were really cheap scotches, because nobody was paying attention to them. Then by the time they started jacking those prices up, I moved on to vodka.
You don't want another Enron? Here's your law: If a company, can't explain, in one sentence, what it does... it's illegal.
