"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."

Friday X-Blogging
I've had these things for nearly twenty years, and I had grown kind of fond of them, but when they asked me to, I drove three thousand miles to turn them loose in some rose gardens they had found in a magazine or something.
It wasn't what I wanted to do, but I can't deny them their dreams.
Now I imagine them frolicking on their hillsides, munching their roses, rolling on their green lawns. I know they will never return to their shoddy little stables here, but I'll always keep some oats on hand, and some fresh apples and carrots.
I lack the power to give them what they want, but while I live, they'll never have to fear need.
