The only time I think about Al Franken is the 5-10 times a year I hear someone blaming Gillibrand for the consequences of his actions. It's deeply weird.

Oh, I did. I had to run to Wikipedia to make sure Mark Stanford was the guy who disappeared to have an affair while he was supposed to be hiking.

Terrible job, tackling. You have to throw, catch, and tackle. Sometimes kick, but if you do the other stuff well kicking is not that important.

I'm not like blanket opposed to the word being used in literature, but yeah, Twain's usage is so far from modern usage (even in literature depicting the past) that I can't focus around it. It's also audio, read by a white man. It's a lot.
