now, more and more, when i read the paper i find myself marveling, "damn! those are some good quotes. i wonder how she was able to get those."
case in point: nicholas confessore's story on gov. david paterson this morning in the times, excerpt below.

i mean, damn! how do people get such awesomeness.

yes, i'm geeking out.
