A: Yes and yes.
So, dear self-satisfied girl: That was Churchill. De Tocqueville only said greed was the worst form of happiness except all the others that have been tried.
P.S.: From today's Quotes of the Day, Frank Zappa says it better: "Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff."
You may now return to your life.
A: Overheard in New York, the beloved east-coast reality blog, has awarded me runner-up for my vulgar entry to their latest headline contest. I thank them for the honor (and the subsequent boost to my SiteMeter). But let's face it, I totally should have won that thing, you fuckers.
To those of you visiting T.A.M.S.Y. for the first time, welcome. Also, I have a favor to ask you (specifically to those coming via Overhead's Livejournal feed): Do any of you have a paid LiveJournal account? Would you do me a favor and take thirty seconds to create a feed for this blog? Something like "tamsy" or "maysurprise" or whatever's not taken. I'll love you forever, stranger. Thanks.
UPDATE: A million thanks to novelist Sara Zarr for hooking me up with a LiveJournal feed! LiveJournalists can now receive the latest from T.A.M.S.Y. right on their friends page, RSS-style, via username maysurprise.
