I heart you SO MUCH, Gore Vidal.

It isn't even always about the substance off what he's said. At times, it's the way he says it.

Gore Vidal, you are my hero, my Planet Earth Idol. Your life, your words, your existence have had a profound effect on me, and for that, good sir, I humbly thank you.

Read Gore here. J'adore!

Mmmm, smokey!

So, I got this thing, finally! Have to say I wicked dig it!!!

If you smoke and you don't wanna, or you don't wanna so much, you should scrape up the $80 bucks or so for this kit.

It doesn' t particular taste like much, but it definitely curbs / satisfies the nicotine craving and absolute BEST of all, it totally doesn't make your lungs feel like shit. It'll prolly take a while to get past the whole jones for putting a lit fag in your mouth, and you'll miss the burn-y, ash-tray tastic taste of a real cig, but I kinda think this is something I could get used to. One might even say, addicted to!! heh heh.

Quick shipping, good product, wicked easy to use, NO smell, nothing burns, no tar, ashes, stank, etc. You can literally use this anywhere - shit, I sat at my desk in my veal-fattening pen at work and toked on it and no one said shiat about it. How can they? It's akin to a super cool asthma inhaler! Wheeeee! SUCK IT, non-smokers! I can keep my nicotine addiction (which is OOHHHHH so fuckin fun, let me tell you! Kids, hurry up and start smoking - it's a LIFETIME of pleasure!! hack hack, wheeze, brown teeth, wrinkles, coughing up shit - OMG it's SO HAWT!).

Love it. Buy it. You should. Because I said so!

Mmmm, delish!

Ah, P. J. O'Rourke!

Let us bend over and kiss our ass goodbye. Our 28-year conservative opportunity to fix the moral and practical boundaries of government is gone--gone with the bear market and the Bear Stearns and the bear that's headed off to do you-know-what in the woods on our philosophy.

An entire generation has been born, grown up, and had families of its own since Ronald Reagan was elected. And where is the world we promised these children of the Conservative Age? Where is this land of freedom and responsibility, knowledge, opportunity, accomplishment, honor, truth, trust, and one boring hour each week spent in itchy clothes at church, synagogue, or mosque? It lies in ruins at our feet, as well it might, since we ourselves kicked the shining city upon a hill into dust and rubble. The progeny of the Reagan Revolution will live instead in the universe that revolves around Hyde Park.
