...year 2000 revival of a fine American classic script, and it played well for a while, then came to an abrupt halt. George Bush and Al Gore romped over the upstarts in the early results on Tuesday, appearing to put an end to the suspense and drama (or pseudo-drama) and sentencing us all to an eight-month campaign between the heavily programmed duo. As of 10 p.m. Tuesday night, Bush had beaten McCain in five of the Tuesday's 13 GOP primaries, giving himself a delegate lead of about 397 to 179. Gore was even better, having taken...
...only thoroughbred horse-racing track in Greater Boston, Suffolk Downs is a collapsed cathedral of pseudo-science and pure chance, of bitter old men and clouds of cigarette smoke, of nausea and human tragedy--and occasionally, of proof that hope springs eternal. Suffolk Downs is, to the uninitiated, no doubt an intimidating place, towering over East Boston, framed by the tracks of the blue line outbound for Wonderland.

If we wanted them to, our families would come to one of those precious pseudo-weddings you've seen on sit-coms. Ours would involve tuna tartare and Madonna remixes, followed by a trip downtown to register with New York City as "domestic partners...
...were enamored with the stoic VP, we decided that his shindig would be thoroughly more intriguing than trailing McCain to Nashua. Skating across the ice to the lovely Holiday Inn, we followed Alter as he described his work at the magazine and his exhilaration on election night. We, plebian, pseudo-media, desperately attempted to compare our work to his, but before we made bigger fools of ourselves, we ran into the real fools: Gore supporters...
