wizened, doddering medicare recipient
now for a moment's mischief. if president bush wins re-election, hillary would likely gain the democratic nomination in 2008, and would run as the favorite against, say, republican bill frist or jeb bush. but if howard dean wins nomination and election in 2004, he would surely be the democratic candidate again in 2008, and by the time 2012 rolls around, hillary would be a wizened, doddering medicare recipient facing a tide of voter resentment after eight years of dean's executive-privilege arrogance in power (i exaggerate for effect).

rick moody's "why the talking heads matter" essay is one big unreadable run-on sentence. an excerpt: "it's the 70s—new year's eve 1978—and we're making for the show at the beacon, there's a bunch of us, dressed like we don't know how to tuck anything in, and no one has slept with anyone else yet, because we aren't smart enough to do that, we don't even know if we have endocrines yet, doesn't matter..." i'm not going to finish the sentence because i'm not sure there's enough space on the internet to continue to the end.
