Apologies to the artist who created this, and deserves credit... But this ought to be re-shared as much as possible.

Another brilliant Roth-ism:

I'll just say it: it's frickin awesome. Go see it... If it's even remotely "your thing" (v. much mine), you'll dig it

Every election, there's at least one office with candidates that I didn't know about prior, even after having looked up the ballot. This year it was Charleston Commish of Public Works. I happened to choose the incumbent, which was/is the best choice this time. Next time I write in myself.

Got to see Marty's latest playing hooky from work. Amazing. Fuller review if I have time to unpack the not-at-all crazy supergroup that could be formed from the supporting cast.
