Big Wet Kiss.


I wish I could do this kind of detailed, careful work.

I wish I saw as clearly as this guy.

I wish I could be this honest.

I wish I brought this sort of erudition to blogging.

I wish I knew this much about the constitution and the law.

I wish I always had this guy and this guy around to keep me honest.

I have the feeling this guy and I could have a really fun argument on religion. Same with this guy.

I wish I had this guy's passion for a candidate.

I've gotten drunk and talked politics half the night with this guy, and suspect I'd have fun doing the same with this guy.

I wish I could work this hard.

All that having been said, I curse better than any of them. So, Happy Fucking New Year.

“Big Wet Kiss.”

    We each have our strengths. It would be boring if we all did everything the same.

    And a Happy Fucking New Year to you too, Michael! All best for you and yours.

    Happy New Year, Michael! You do cuss better than I do, so I won't even try. I wish you and your family great joy and happiness this year. If you're down Louisiana way, look me up, drinks are on me.

    I used to be a teamster, but I'm out of practice. He might actually be a better cusser than I currently am.

    Auguri to you too, Michael! Let me know if you'll be out in L.A. again; I know where good Scotch and steak can be had, not far from the airport.
