“Fortunately, none of us were members of the Communist Party or the Ku Klux Klan.”

Charles Lewis, writing in National Post, on his run-in with the Secret Service:

I happily told the agent all about Seth, and what an idiot he was, and how he once got his younger brother to jump out of a second-storey window onto a snow bank. The agent wrote everything down. I wondered aloud if Seth might be a communist, but the agent shook his head non-committally.

Pure. Gold.
