Anyone throwing ketchup today because they didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize probably didn't deserve it. Just saying.

As long as we're including dead writers, I'd like to thank Nelson DeMille...

Your Daily Dorothy Parker

Cody by Dorothy Parker
There’s little in taking or giving,
There’s little in water or wine;
This living, this living, this living
Was never a project of mine.
Oh, hard is the struggle, and sparse is
The gain of the one at the top,
For art is a form of catharsis,
And love is a permanent flop,
And work is the province of cattle,
And rest’s for a clam in a shell,
So I'm thinking of throwing the battle—
Would you kindly direct me to hell?

Just saw a book I personally inscribed for a friend being sold on eBay. Ouch.
(And fyi, she's not someone who needs the money.)

Your daily Dorothy Parker

When Dorothy Parker and a young actress reached a doorway at the same time, the ingénue drew back and cracked, “Age before beauty.”

As Parker swept out she replied,
“And pearls before swine.”
