Earlier this evening we saw a fella driving in a smart convertible with a very familiar-looking monkey perched on the passenger-side rear-view mirror. Later, whilst at a certain “leftist den” dining on hommos, fatoush, and a kebbeh that can only be described as minted raw lamb paste served w/ bulgar and olive oil, they played the Travelling Wilburys song “Tweeter and the Monkey Man.” End transmission.
