John L. Sullivan: I want this picture to be a commentary on modern conditions. Stark realism. The problems that confront the average man!

John L. Sullivan: A little, but I don't want to stress it. I want this picture to be a document. I want to hold a mirror up to life. I want this to be a picture of dignity! A true canvas of the suffering of humanity!

I honestly cannot tell you how much your podcast has meant to me these past years. You guys do an incredible job; I look forward to every week's show, and the longer I listen, the more I enjoy it. Thank you for doing it.
I gave up saying "thank god it's Friday" a long time ago. Now it's "thank god it's Professional Left Podcast Day!" I'm really glad you do it on Friday: It's nice to combine the relief of the end of another work week with the joy of listening to your show.
Happy 4th Anniversary! May you celebrate many, many more.
