"The Pooka MacPhellimey, a member of the devil class, sat in his hut in the middle of a firwood meditating on the nature of the numerals and segregating in his mind the odd ones from the even. He was seated at his diptych or ancient two-leaved hinged writing-table with inner sides waxed."

"I think that may be the saddest comment on Democratic Party failure yet, even including the advancement of the Cheney torture regime. Not because it's worse morally, but because the opportunity to educate people and obtain their support for progressive economics was practically laid at their feet and they whiffed."Digby's Hullabaloo
"...one can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, burning the crockery, setting the kitchen on fire, firebombing the restaurant and summarily executing the survivors."

Which part of you
Is there a tiny voice in you that wants Bush to win the election because you think it will be fun to live in a desert fortress and go out on raids for food and fuel?
If so, remember to stock up on rubber tires, lead-acid batteries (stored dry, of course), generator replacement parts (don't forget belts, plugs and gasket material), fabrics, winches and jacks, reagents, welding tools and supplies, pipes, pulleys, a mortar and pestle, bar and sheet stock, leather, Portland cement, fine abrasives, earth moving equipment, lantern mantles, mill wheels, salt, girders, a good sharpening stone, pilings (and a pile driver), needles, kilns of various types, sulphur, lime, and other bag chemicals, an astrolabe, a hot glue gun, aspirin, scissors, coffee filters, wire mesh, Kalhua, a bolt cutter and lots of chain, dynamite, an air compressor, a flat pan for soapmaking, a reflux condensor, a corkscrew, and lots of duct tape and plastic.
And a lariat.
