in the spirit of the thread title 1. “Grover Norquist” is an amazing name. It really is. 2. He is a fully realized character - if you read a novel with e.g. Paul Ryan in it, you’d groan every time he popped up, and assume (correctly) that the author was taking the piss, as they say - but you could probably read a 7-volume saga with Grover Norquist in it and develop strong opinions and feelings about the guy, and maybe even like him3. When he turns, you know it’s going to be good. If he goes to the grave as he is, at the very least, he’s established a handy reference for the philosophy he espouses and he has never made any bones about the logical ends of his line of thinking.

grover's continuing silence on these issues challenges my faith in the sincerity of 'americans for tax reform' and their holy pledge :(
