I went to a tattoo artist and told him to give me a tattoo of a cat, or not to give me a tattoo of a cat. I’m keeping the bandage on so I don’t know if he ripped me off. That’s Schroedinger in the wild, my friends.

Getting mad that government agencies would pay for a Politico Pro subscription is like getting mad at a post-production house for paying Avid and Adobe. These are tools of the trade.
