Quote of the day:
"If you got an 'A' in Questioning Authority, you flunked."
-- David Burge (IowaHawk)
-- Terry Pratchett
This is a great one.
"Whenever a pundit uses the term 'the real victims' that's your cue to ignore them. Forever."
-- David Burge (aka IowaHawk)
yet we put it off until to-morrow, and why? There is no answer, except that we feel perverse, using the word with no comprehension of the principle. ... [Then] The clock strikes, and is the knell of our welfare. At the same time, it is the
chanticleer-note to the ghost that has so long overawed us. It fliesbdisappearsbwe are free. The old energy returns. We will labor now. Alas, it is too late!
--Poe, "The Imp of the Perverse"

Now, Bob, who'd been observing Jack carefully for many years, had observed that when these moments arrived, Jack was almost invariably possessed by something that Bob had heard about in Church called the Imp of the Perverse. Bob was convinced that the Imp of the Perverse rode invisibly on Jack's shoulder whispering bad ideas into his ear, and that the only counterbalance was Bob himself, standing alongsides counseling good sense, prudence, caution, and other Puritan virtues.
But Bob was in England.

The invention of print, however, made it easier to manipulate public opinion, and the film and the radio carried the process further. With the development of television, and the technical advance which made it possible to receive and transmit simultaneously on the same instrument, private life came to an end. Every citizen, or at least every citizen important enough to be worth watching, could be kept for twenty-four hours a day under the eyes of the police and in the sound of official propaganda, with all other channels of communication closed. The possibility of enforcing not only complete obedience to the will of the State, but complete uniformity of opinion on all subjects, now existed for the first time.
-Orwell, 1984, part III chapter 1.

He knows exactly what he's doing. Let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. Let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing." -- Marco Rubio
