Lileks weighs in on lots of stuff, including this gem about Senator Toricelli:

I detect the emanation of the afterglow of a shadow of a penumbra here. Look at the first sentence: they’re “likely to argue” that it’s too late to put another name on the ballot. The law says you can’t withdraw after 51 days. Period. So they’re “likely to argue” that there’s a law that governs this situation, and it ought to apply. The Times seems to imply that the law is merely an opinion, an idea who’s competing in a truth pageant and possibly padding its bra.

And this one too:

After all, Toricelli didn’t quit because he discovered an eight-pound neoplasm in his small intestine, or had his brain turned into a fine red mist when a marble-sized meteorite from the Oort cloud struck him in a 7-11 parking lot. He’s not even under indictment. He resigned because there was such a bad odor coming from him and his campaign that actual wavy cartoon stink lines were coming off him, and the cameras were starting to pick it up.

Now go read the damned thing before I wind up quoting all of it.
