...kind of a tough neighborhood, too. Not big-city tough like the slums in "Los Olvidados" or "Pixote" or Hell's Kitchen in "Dead End," but still full of peril to a kid. Especially when I got a little older and developed some dangerous habits - like reading. I learned to walk around with the book covers hidden, so the sci-fi titles looked like schoolbooks.

Dick Armey and Tom DeLay, standing next to each other, were bouncing up and down and looked like they would have hugged each other if they didn't think it would cause them to go to Hell.

...Clinton Going-Out-of-Business sale--long after Monica--he emerges on 125th Street, larger even than himself. He is the fallen preacher, the three-card-monte dealer, and the best of all time. And he is going to bless and disappoint and fool us again. But what the hell...
