Quote of the Day (“Fish Hooks” McCarthy)

"O, Lord, give me health and strength. We'll steal the rest." – Tammany Hall operative (and Al Smith lieutenant) “Fish Hooks” McCarthy, who, according to legend, stopped by St. James Church in downtown Manhattan on his way to work each day and muttered this heartfelt prayer

(Like “Fish Hooks” and other illustrious Celts, in the best American political tradition, I’ll be voting early and often. I advise all my readers to do likewise!)
