“Let us be vulgar and have some fun—let us invite the President.”—Henry James

Ladies and Gentlemen,

These intensely political, post-intellectual times are so sincere! Is anything more boring than sincerity?

While the mob rages, may we not indulge in such privileged pleasures as Lubitsch knew how?

As for politics, I had always imagined James Bond to be more or less a solution, a vulgar fantasy, I know, and I’ve even imagined his replacement.

As for vulgarity, here is Toby oppressed by a large woman.

And, what the hell, let us invite the president.

Tally-ho,

Robert
