You will notice that it lacks definiteness; that it lacks purpose; that it lacks coherence; that it lacks a subject to talk about; that it is loose and wabbly; that it wanders around; that it loses itself early and does not find itself any more. --Mark Twain

Laurie David ponders Karl Rove:
How hardened and removed from reality must a person be to refuse to be touched by Sheryl Crow?This after Sheryl Crow tried to touch his arm in a conversation about global warming during the White House Correspondents Dinner.
Crow has been traveling the nation discussing the issue, so those of you not hardened and removed from reality missed a shot at getting touched by her if you didn't attend a nearby event.
