"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."

This modern world
Skippy alerts us to an oasis of deeply centered wisdom. Money quote:
"I miss those tomatoes and that pie."
I'm not snarking when I say that I identify with that. Really. I'm not kidding.
In other news...
George Bush spoke at commencement exercises at Oklahoma State University (Stillwater, OK) today.
"My advice: Harness the promise of technology without becoming slaves to technology. My advice is that science serves the cause of humanity and not the other way around," the president said.
After the speech, some graduates said they couldn't make out clearly what Bush said because of an echo in the audio system at Boone Pickens Stadium.
I very much want to write an exegesis on this, but it makes me laugh too much.
I beg your forgiveness.
