...Beanpot for him will always be a little more bitter than sweet. "Presto" deserved a championship, not just a mere win, but the consolation game can only provide so much...
...time of such happiness and plenty. McCain's genius has been to understand that it is precisely this affluence and good cheer that make genuine ideas irrelevant.
