About Me
- Sarcastic Bastard
- I am a Gen-X, lazy, manic-depressive bastard, with an eating disorder, OCD, and a propensity for alcoholism. I am basically hell to live with, but I enjoy red wine, Ritalin, reality TV, and disdainful cats. This description could also be useful as a personal ad for a dating service.

Not many people in this country can think of more than a few of statues they've ever seen even in pictures. One of them is Liberty. Another is Venus d'Milo. Another is Justice.
Maybe the statistics don't convey anything meaningful in this instance.
Sofarfromheaven,
You may be right, brother. Thanks for that observation.
Ms. Moon,
I read this in a column from our buddy Jane Fishman. I wish they'd build a statue of her.
