Dude---you've been my Pal since 2001--shit---14 years-- and I am glad to have you as a friend.
We've been drunk together a few times--McGreevy's--Cask 'n Flagon--hazy but fantastic memories.
You're a good guy Pitt--a wonderful writer, devoted Husband and Father, and a solid Progressive Democrat.
Your one flaw---You're a Fucking Patriots fan!
So I lift my glass of Jameson's and Toast---HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL PITT!

(6,594 posts)You inspired me to write political commentary, & to create my own web site to try & alert the world to the evils of the #PNAC & the GW Bush administration.
Don't think I succeeded, but I did get a lot better at writing.
Thanks!!!
