Another great one, Roy.

I’m generally non-violent, but the McCloskeys need to be marched to the guillotine if only because of their fashion choices. If I had that kind of cash I’d be living 24/7 in lewks that would make Anna Wintour weep with envy. But these assholes? The Devil Wears Schmatta.

As a fellow writer and a lover of language, I got to give it up for Ed Royroso's Thackerayan prose. He often tosses out a thought that really make me jump: like this on libertarians here "who are basically white supremacists run through cheesecloth to make their supremacy whiter." You got yer figurative language, you got yer polished rhetorical shine (polyptoton, even), you got yer forward energy. We live in a world where words are almost meaningless -- yet you don't have to be a pedantic grammar Nazi to deal in well-crafted language. Thanks again, as always.
