I haven't used it in a while, but I think I still have his 2000 book 50 Chowders (eG-friendly Amazon.com link).

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist

Weirdly, when we were at the Mohegan Sun last month to see the Springsteen show there, we had dinner at Summer Shack.  And Jasper (no doubt there to see the Springsteen show) walked through the kitchen saying hi to the staff.
