Let's All Say Hi To Nick

Laura Billings actually wrote something today that had me in tears I was laughing so hard:

This is not to say that St. Paul is cozy and small-town. We have more edge than that. The standard greeting in the neighborhood from which my husband hails is a raised middle finger.

Sorry to break it to you, Laura, but it ain't a neighborhood thing. A raised middle finger is everybody's standard greeting to your husband.
