It is the merit of European political scientists and sociologists to give a high priority to the power of ideas in a social struggle. In the United States, it is our weakness to confuse the numerical strength of an organization and the publicity attached to leaders with the germinating forces that sow the seeds of social upheaval in our community.

Dear Neighbors,
This will probably be the last time I eat the Bacon Marmalade pizza from Paulie Gee’s, which is one of the best things I have ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. It is the perfect combination of cheesy-breaded-sweet-meatiness. Unfortunately the genius who makes it is being a complete dick and moving to Spain to have a fabulous life or something. Oh well.
You will be missed bacon marmalade!
