The funeral brings together Bernadette and Sebastian for the first time in years and forces them and the people close to them to re-evaluate the purpose of their lives. Sebastian, we soon learn, isn't the small-town boy made good that everyone takes him for; in fact, he's lonely and deeply in debt.

Dole had kinder words for Steve Forbes, whom he said brought a useful message to the campaign in his flat tax proposal. Forbes withdrew from the race after a dismal performance on Super Tuesday, endorsing...
...people who believe in a flat earth. The vision I can't seem to get out of my head has Steve Forbes as both Ferdinand and Isabella, smiling his dorky smile under two different powdered wigs while economists from the Brookings Institution demonstrate with the same apple Columbus used that there would be a shortfall in federal revenues of $186 billion a year...
