The KKK and conservative Massachusetts voters both dislike gay marriage, but that’s just incidental to both groups.

Yes. A good idea. He is an awful person.

I don’t think I’ll ever see or hear that surname again without hearing Strother Martin yelling at Tommy Chong about shipping him off to military school with the “***damn Finkelstein **** kid!”
