Before updating this post with a better-quality video, I had quipped (I like quipping, and I like that word and I shall use it more) about how Bob Costas would read one of his society-judging poems while at Merion this weekend. He didn’t do that. But, he did make fun of the Mets and quickly quipped about the “ongoing decline of western civilization” when he quipped that the Mets looked like a team that had just won the World Series after they (rightfully) celebrated one of their rare victories. The irony that Costas delivered that quip from a members-only club that costs upwards of $70,000 to join so rich white people can join other rich white people in playing games of skill and regaling each other with quips about putting their horses out to stud… well, it isn’t lost on me.

Quip.
