Catharsis

Holy crap, man, there is just something so very cathartic about this.
The Alfred E.Smith Dinner is an annual fund raising event for Catholic Charities. Since 1960, when Kennedy and Nixon were guests, it’s been a traditional stop for presidential candidates. Apparently, in recent years, it’s also become sort of a…well I won’t say roast exactly, but an opportunity to poke fun at politics. I didn’t know these things, I had to go look it up.
I figured that had to be true, because to risk a speech like that, there’d have to be some context. Still pretty cool, though.
