...best. I was home for spring break, spending my days alongside my mom at the downtown Chicago rehabilitative institute where my father has now been moved. His physical therapy session had just begun, and his therapist was busily testing the strength in his arms and neck, checking to see whether my father - a six-foot, three-inch-tall man who once weighed as much as a linebacker - could do something as simple as keep his back and neck in an upright, seated position.

The Boy's video speech is a parody (simultaneously innocent and sinister) of the Beard's famously fervent and empty orations. Nice touch, Fellini...
