MARY: "It don't matter. I'll be all aroun' in the dark. I'll be ever'where--wherever you can look. Wherever there's a fax so hungry journalists can be duped, I'll be there. Wherever there's a blog beatin' up a lib, I'll be there. I'll be in the way DUmmies yell when they're mad--an' I'll be in the way FReepers laugh when they're amused an' they know the moonbats are barkin'. An' when the people are watchin' the stuff we make up, an' believin' the stories we report, I'll be there too."
DAN: "I don't understan' it, Mary."
MARY: "Me neither, Dan, but jus' sump'n I've been thinkin' about."
Ah! Recycled Steinbeck. FUN FACT: For YEARS Columbia University REFUSED to teach anything about John Steinbeck. Apparently he committed the political heresy of moving from Left to Right (actually from Left to not so Left).
