The Not-So-Retiring Barney Frank
Andrew Goldman: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
AG: Why not?
BF: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
AG: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
BF: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?

it’s snowing, big fat flakes. and all i can do i rest my head on the arm of our big stripped armchair. and stare out at the bay. and listen to the fog horn. and think about how many variations of gray there are out there. and make tea in my new teapot. and eat toast with homemade marmalade. and repeat.

at some point it became impossible to write anything. i have a few theories but no conclusive answers. i suppose the only way out this horrible hole is to just start writing again without worry as to how horrible, how bad, how awful, how boring. dull. the dullest, most boring, most awful writing anyone has ever read.  here’s to writing more.
