...what I would call unique brand association. In Asia right now, we're doing fashion. Women in Asia have huge buying power. They travel a lot. Imagine having, in Japan, the Louis Vuitton card. I mean, one in six women in Japan own at least one Louis Vuitton item...
...with academic jargon, but his writing is otherwise topologically stable. Channeling Grass and the magic realists, he has a kids' TV magician overseeing construction of the Berlin Wall, and a cat mediating Andermans' love life.

This power grab is a clear violation of the spirit of our Constitution that undermines the authority of Congress to legislate. Effectively making an end-run around the unconstitutionality of line-item vetoes, it concentrates far too much power in the presidency, which is disconcerting no matter who is occupying the White House. Although legal scholars may be able to dream up fancy justifications for such actions, signing statements fly in the face of common sense and basic civics. We hope their use is discontinued...
