He is always the funniest guy in the room, and the most perceptive. Long may he reign.

Rubio was born here and he is therefore a natural citizen. End of story. If you think otherwise, take it to court.

I don't like magical or witchcraft themes because the proposition of witchcraft is the same as gambling-- you can get an unfair advantage over people, power or wealth without merit. The book had no such message. It was full of positive values, conservative if you want to call them that. I approved heartily and argued in favor of the books with my more conservative pastoral colleagues. As long as you understand that this is a story and that magic isn't real, it is harmless to children and builds their understanding of real virtues. I'm glad other people are recognizing this.

I promised to never forget how they betrayed us and never forgive their treason. Treason. The word isn't used much and it is often misused, but not here.

We thought free government had come to Cuba. My uncle Louis said he was a Communist and would start a bloodbath. As usual, the evil ol' uncle Louis was completely right.

They not only spied on me there, they reported back what I said to the newspapers in the US. Oddly enough, I haven't been able to get a visa in twenty years. I live for the day when every apparatchik in Cuba is hanged from the palm trees.

At first I lamented that I was turning into my father. Then I realized that compared to the standard for men today, that wasn't such a bad thing even if he was an evil ol' tyrant most of the time.

I drove an old Peugeot like him. I wore a shabby white trenchcoat like him. Then Columbo went on and I had to buy a new lousy old car (a Renault) and get a different color shabby trenchcoat because everybody said I was copying him. The little bastard owes me two hundred bucks for that.

"...fracking is killing countless unsuspecting poor people . . ." Another translation of the word 'countless' in this sentence is 'none'. There are no confirmable deaths or illnesses related to fracking. I collect propaganda comics and broadsides. Whenever I see claims like this I delve into my files and learn from my environmentalist friends that all the oil, copper, and gas would be gone by 1985. There would be widespread famine in Europe by 1990. The oceans would be dead by 1995. Air pollution would be killing millions in America by 1980. Agricultural output would plummet during the eighties and nineties. Pesticides were killing millions every year. Occasionally someone will post about the groundless beliefs of religious fanatics. Can we all agree that the biggest religious fanatics in America, and the most dangerous, are those who worship at the shrine of the Great Green God? Remember, the corn gods of the past always required human sacrifice. Some things never change.

It's a public relations disaster for them. Are they that out of touch with reality that they thought this would help their position in the negotiations? Apparently they are. How stupid are these people?

It's not easy to steal a movie from Orson Welles. Eddie managed it quite nicely. I rank him in the top ten for the twentieth century. He ruled the screen whenever he appeared. And yes, "Brother Orchid" and "Our Vines Have Tender Grapes" were among his master works.
