Apart from "Mister - why - can't - everything - in - Kanagawa - be - in
- English - including - the - publicly - supported - local - library -
system, and - by - the - way - you - are - all - beneath - me -
especially - the - non-americans - who - didn't - vote - for - Kerry -
merely - because - they - couldn't  - dickhead - at - ibm", I can't
