"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."

Pre 9/11 Mentality
Isn't the real pre 9/11 mentality the one that thinks the USA can do whetever it wants to in all the world without consequences? That we are somehow apart from, and immune to, the afflictions that beset the little pieces on our game board? That "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind" is a quaint, obsolete, 18th century notion?
Yes, it is.
