I remember when Barry wrote for the Philadelphia Inquirer. He did a hilarious column about the folly of arms negotiations between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. where the countries had agreed to forego development of future weapons that they might have decided to produce at some point in time. . . . The detail that still makes me chuckle was a soviet pledge to refrain from creating a weapon that would turn our past Presidents into “small, unattractive washbasins.”

This made me go look up the Menino vs. Romney commercial that made me spit coffee on my screen back in July.
