• The regime of control tightens inexorably in our schools, many of which now have video cameras, police patrols, chain-link fences, random unannounced locker searches, metal detectors, drug-sniffing dogs, networks of informants, undercover police posing as students, and a comprehensive system of passes so that there is a record of each student's authorized whereabouts at all times. What a perfect preparation for life in a prison or a totalitarian society!

• Caron, Even though you just got here a few months ago, We've grown so close over these last few weeks And, I can remember, When you first got here, You wrote a piece of paper in my locker... I don't know why I'm crying so much man... You wrote a piece of paper in my locker that said, "KD MVP." And that's after we had lost two or three straight. And I don't really say much in those moments, But I remember that. I go home and I think about that stuff man. When you got people behind you, You can do whatever. And I thank you man, I appreciate you.

• My plan to put Social Security in an ironclad lockbox has gotten a lot of attention recently, and I'm glad about that. But I'm afraid that it's overshadowing some vitally important proposals. For instance, I'll put Medicaid in a walk-in closet. I'll put the Community Reinvestment Act in a secured gym locker. I'll put NASA funding in a hermetically sealed Ziploc bag.

• When I was in seventh grade, I was caught stealing money from the visiting team's locker room during a basketball game. So I was sent to The Brothers. That's what they called this parochial school up in Goshen, New York. I was supposed to get closer supervision there and more "masculine influence," whatever that means. But I was thrown out for telling a couple of really lame kids on the playground that I had heroin.

  being a rock star or playing left field for the Tigers,

• The gym teacher's name was Mr. Caruso. Mr. Caruso did
  not speak English. He spoke 'Gym.' One day I was playing
  basketball and Mr. Caruso told me I would have to get
  an athletic supporter. He didn't express himself exactly
  that way, though. He said, 'Hey, you, one day you're gonna
  go up for a rebound and the family jewels aren't gonna
  go with ya.' I had no idea what he was talking about.
  Next day I showed up for practice without my watch and
  my mezuzah. He said, 'Did ya take care of the family jewels?'
  I said, 'I left 'em in my locker.' Took us a half hour to
  revive Mr. Caruso.
