I'm hoping he is so inspired by his new status as a married man that he takes up sculpting and poetry. I hope they shun the limelight and live a happy life in some backwater until the asteroid hits and we don't have to worry about any of it anymore.
She's always seemed to me to be the sensible Clinton, even though campaigning for her mother was fairly unseemly.... You KNOW she has to be SICK to death of politicos and oligarchs and media assholes. We can so hope for the best.
She's marrying a jewish investment banker whose father, a former congressman, did five years in prison for bank fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud. The two families are a perfect fit. With those bloodlines, their kids stand a good chance of being psychopaths
Excuse me. I happen to be the daughter of a sociopath, and the hardest working sweetheart ever born. I had the judgment not to reproduce and not to be a sociopath either. Chelsea and Marc may WELL have been each other's refuge from the obscenities that served as their parents. Chelsea made hundreds, maybe thousands of her parents' most generous donors sit this one out... so... she's doing the best she can.
No. I think he was ethical enough to leave Goldman Sachs, but may not get completely ethical until he finds he no longer needs to impress Bill and Hillary. That is effective as of right now, but it may take him a while before it dawns on him.
Now that they have taken over the planet, I'm not thinking of them the same as I did when I was a kid. Nasty buggers. Even the geckos... selling shit insurance to the unwary.... Where's my brandy?
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. —John F. Kennedy
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so. —Ronald Reagan
Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. —Martin Luther King
We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked. —not uttered by anyone in charge lately
Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them. —Old Uncle Dave
As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country. —Pat Buchanan
Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids. —Scott Horton
There has to be altruism in the universe. —Frank Drake
The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome. —Paul Craig Roberts
I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court. —Cynthia McKinney
No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world." —Chris Floyd
The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below. —Howard Zinn
...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable. —Matt Taibbi
· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.
· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.
· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.
Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further. —Ted Rall
As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil. —Terry Eagleton
Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice. —Michael Parenti
I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls. —Thomas Cleary
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton

ReplyDeleteThe circus should soon be over.
ReplyDeleteThank God
Maybe he is an ethical hedge fund trader who honestly made enough to buy a $4 million dollar apartment before he was 30.

ReplyDeleteOR they're both shape-shifting virgin-eating space lizards.
ReplyDeleteWe could go THAT route.
Thank god I'm not a virgin!
ReplyDeleteStill, better steer clear of them just to be sure....

ReplyDeleteWhat can I say, got to the party late and started at the bottom of the page :p
ReplyDeleteUsually the right approach.... Thank you, anyway.
