Kevin, you may not have the answer, but when naming this journey “Adventures in Scamduel and Grift Kings” ... Was any though given to “Graft” over “Grift?”

No, my editor Barry Petchesky inserted that note, which is fair.

they’re all pretty much perfectly backward-compatible with ...And Justice for All or Master of Puppets, the two old Metallica records that own the hardest. [Ed. note: Fuck you, Ride the Lightning owns all.]

She returned my call from Trump Force One.

I was in line at Wal-Mart a little over a year ago, just as students were arriving at UNH. There were two freshman women in line ahead of me, with their mothers. The cashier told them if they have any problems, seek out her son, who is a campus police officer. Well, knowing how that works out, I spoke up and said,…

Well, just skimming some of that after watching the video ruined my night.

The understandable look of dread on a man about to be evaluated by NFL physicians for brain trauma.

“I want to destroy you for your own good. Why can’t you see that, you ungrateful little shit that I effectively disowned.”

Oh, as a Floridian, I read FiveThirtyEight ev-er-y day, hoping that Murphy would gain on him. I think the OP just meant that it is easy to forget that you have a lazy, flipflopper of a Senator when we are facing an egomaniacal sociopath in the White House in two months.

Right? You couldn’t PAY me to leave my house on a Saturday in January in DC. Obama getting inaugurated wasn’t even important enough for me to shift myself, because it’s cold and crowded and hard to get to, which are all things I dislike.
