combine, conspire, confederate, and agree

 

Anthony Scaramucci


"Life is pain-management."

~ Chris Cuomo


Yikes.

That's one way of looking at it.

        Hearing him say this on Anthony Scaramucci's "Open Book" video on You Tube reminded me of an episode of The Sopranos where the Russian woman, Svetlana, says, "Americans always expect good things to happen.  The rest of the world--people expect bad things to happen, and they are not disappointed."


Then she adds, "In America, you have everything, and you are still not happy."
