...next morning and returned the truck without a problem, but it wasn't nearly as much fun. It's sad to think that a lot of people go through life that way, just getting things done and never taking time out to eat pizza in a parking lot or drag race in a moving van with Domino's deliverers...
...revolutions of various kinds, mass hatred and mass worship." To have lived in Poland through the successive waves of its disastrous history since 1939 -- right up to the post-Soviet present when, she wrote in 1990, "hand-to-hand-fighting has begun, each against each, zealously trying to drag everything toward a private nest" -- such a background cannot help giving a special character to a sculptor's use of the "heroic" figure, to her ideas on the body's status as a container of esthetic feeling, to her sense of the monumental. How can you imagine a monument...
...doubly envious -- of the show-business clique for supplanting them as the coolest people in town, and of the Clintonites for getting to hang out with Streisand & Co. Washington reporters' lust for proximity to stars is at least as intense as the Clintons' (it's the journalists who shamelessly drag trophy stars to the White House correspondents' dinner every spring), so naturally they are quick to detect a groupie instinct in Clinton, and to give a knee-jerk, pseudo-high-minded critique. But isn't George Will a TV performer? And is Sam Donaldson more profound than Richard Dreyfuss...
...pseudo-war chant songs make rap sound melodic. Yes, the plot is thin and predictable and the execution as slick as a frat-party drag show.

The show offers fans of the departing sitcom Cheers, wondering how to cope without their favorite palookas, a two-hour maintenance dose of Norm, the fat, idle, beer-guzzling oaf with the inexplicably likable stumblebum smirk...
...final clarification I have is that the terms "drag queen" and "art fag" are not my own words, but the words of the undergraduates with these perceptions. I stay clear of using these terms as a member of the community because they can often be seen as pejorative terms which conjure up negative images. Earlier in the conversation with the reporter, I had used the terms "quote and unquote" in order to let her know that I was taking other people's terms and using them for more clarity. This is often the problem of telephone interviews...
