If enough people read this hilarious ‘man versus state’ book, the IRS will be put out of business, which is okay with me.
-- Grover Norquist

Dada was given the Venus of Milo a clyster and has allowed the Laocoön and his sons to rest awhile, after thousands of years of struggle with the good sausage Python.
