individuality groups mediocrity
You know you've reached a new plateau of group mediocrity when even a Canadian is alarmed by your lack of individuality.
party independent thinking
Despite his consistent party-line voting record, some independents and Democrats still think of Senator McCain as the most palatable, independent-minded Republican. But this is the sort of empty compliment a friend of mine once compared to being called “the coolest Osmond.
monsters dear idealist
Oh my dear, idealists are the cruelest monsters of them all.
aztec office waiting
Just the other day, I was in my neighborhood Starbucks, waiting for the post office to open. I was enjoying a chocolatey cafe mocha when it occurred to me that to drink a mocha is to gulp down the entire history of the New World. From the Spanish exportation of Aztec cacao, and the Dutch invention of the chemical process for making cocoa, on down to the capitalist empire of Hershey, PA, and the lifestyle marketing of Seattle's Starbucks, the modern mocha is a bittersweet concoction of imperialism, genocide, invention, and consumerism served with whipped cream on top.
quagmire american-history knows
American history is a quagmire, and the more one knows, the quaggier the mire gets.
cities suffering together
In the U.S.A., we want to sing along with the chorus and ignore the verses, ignore the blues. . . No one is going to hold up a cigarette lighter in a stadium to the tune of "mourn together, suffer together." City on a hill, though -- that has a backbeat we can dance to. And that's why the citizens of the United States not only elected and reelected Ronald Reagan; that's why we ARE Ronald Reagan.
synonym variety knows
You know, it's always good to have a synonym just for variety.
people knows
The only people who know about me are people who would know about me.
running thinking long
I have a similar affection for the parenthesis (but I always take most of my parentheses out, so as not to call undue attention to the glaring fact that I cannot think in complete sentences, that I think only in short fragments or long, run-on thought relays that the literati call stream of consciousness but I still like to think of as disdain for the finality of the period).
happiness believe long
While I gave up God a long time ago, I never shook the habit of wanting to believe in something. So I replaced my creed of everlasting life with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
caring nerd too-much
Being a nerd, which is to say going too far and caring too much about a subject, is the best way to make friends I know.
trying armstrong figures
The whole point of Louis Armstrong is that no one can really figure him out. There was a while where I thought you could try.
believe stronger bullets
Like Lincoln, I would like to believe the ballot is stronger than the bullet. Then again, he said that before he got shot.
drinking water imagination
I talk about going to [George W. Bush's] Inauguration and crying when he took the oath, 'cause I was so afraid he was going to wreck the economy and muck up the drinking water'... the failure of my pessimistic imagination at that moment boggles my mind now.
