Potent Quotables (updated periodically)

  • "If you like sausages and laws, you should never watch either one of them being made." -- Otto von Bismarck
  • "God who gave us life, gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever." -- Thomas Jefferson
  • "The best way to prove a stick is crooked is to lay a straight one beside it" -- FW Boreham
  • "There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who walk into a room and say, 'There you are' and those who say, 'Here I am'" -- Abigail Van Buren
  • "It was not political rhetoric, mass rallies or poses of moral indignation that gave the people a better life. It was capitalism." -- Thomas Sowell

Scary

It really is.

Be sure to mouse over the picture to read the subtext.

How to Win the Nobel Prize

Use the word "hope" at least 10 times a day.  Let us "hope" that terrorist harboring nations think well of us now as they gear up their nuclear arsenals.

Marching to Her Own Drumbeat

I find this story, about an 85-year-old metalhead grandma, entertaining. Not that I'm a Metallica fan at all, it's just that I appreciate the fact that you can be 85 and still rebel against conventional wisdom ("It's too loud, Junior! Turn that crap down!"). Or perhaps it's that, at 85, you've lived long enough that you ought to be able to do whatever the heck you want.

Either way: rock on, Grandma. Rock on.

More Lib Logic

Alan Grayson says that the Republican solution to healthcare is "don't get sick." Actually, it's more like "Don't be a communist."  But I'd rather be a knuckle dragging neanderthal than a liberal any day.  At least it makes me closer to human.  Liberal drones don't mind linking some people's lack of health insurance to the holocaust while considering abortion a basic human right.  Makes sense: killing millions of babies each year is nothing like a holocaust, but not having health insurance is just like being burned in an oven at Dachau.  Men (more like adolescent boys) like Grayson run congress.  That needs to change.  That's change we can believe in.

The Most Interesting Advertisments in the World

I love good advertising. Emphasis on "good".
This is good.
...and interesting.

Moore Bull

"To the Democrats in Congress who don’t quite get it: I want to offer a personal pledge. I – and a lot of other people – have every intention of removing you from Congress in the next election if you stand in the way of health care legislation that the people want. That is not a hollow or idle threat. We will come to your district and we will work against you, first in the primary and, if we have to, in the general election." - Michael Moore
That's funny, Michael.  I said something similar to my congressman, but I actually favor a strong America over making a German spectacle of myself and plugging my whinumentaries.  Your idea of healch care reform is Monica Lewinksy giving you a toe job (pedicure that is) and the vaaaaast right wing conspiracy having to pay for it.  The same right wing conspiracy that unzipped Bill Clinton's pants in the oval office.
"If a true public option is enacted — and Obama knows this — it will eventually bring about a single payer system, because the profit-making insurance companies won’t be able to compete with a government run plan and make the profits they want to make." - Michael Moore (again)
Government bureaucracy - Competition in a free market = Poverty

Liberals support a poorer America in the name of fairness because not all people have the same resources.  Do you want to join them in the sinking of all ships?
