Oh, and...

...you forgot the episode when Wallner said that your daughter, who had been teased by Yassky supporters for her support of Chris Owens in the CD-11 primary, needed to toughen up (instead of crying) in the face of playground taunts if such things were going to lead you to a discussion of racism. This because talking about racism 'turns people off', 'reopens old wounds' and just disgusts people.

I recall that did piss me off just a bit. Seemed not very charming at the time.

Words to live by

While no carecimos de quejas about road and train congestion today, that's just the point. Your neighbors came out today and then they went home. They've been there the whole time, they're still there, and it's only cuando 400,000 show up in one place that ciertas personas se dan cuenta de su mera existencia. All told, a great success, I think.
