Quote of the Day

"And around the demonstrators was a belt of Washington summertime tourists looking as only Washington summertime tourists can--mature adults visiting their nation's most solemn monuments and greatest institutions in cartoon-character T-shirts and candy-colored running shoes the size of teddy bears, with porky desk-job thighs sticking out of tiny iridescent gym shorts and wearing fanny packs like phylacteries for the worship of fat" (p. 76).
