from Bob Dylan. He went to his manager's office to play him the song Highlands (which eventually wound up on Time Out of Mind), so it could be recorded for copyright purposes. It went on for like 20 minutes. The manager said to Bob 'Can you now play the short version?' Bob replied 'That is the short version.'

Here's my edit to something of substance:

We on the left will naturally have plenty of disagreements with those who are liberal or more moderate. We also must occasionally join forces to combat the right wing. Let's have fun along the way.
