"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."

W's Cowboy Suit
Perhaps you've run across wry blogger comments about a WaPo gossip column that claims GW Bush got his jockstrap in a wad about an article in the Austin American-Statesman that talks about the duds he wears at his Crawford Ranchesque. Yeesh.
What a waste of time.
For my money, this is a long-settled matter. Here's one from the archives:
Hotshot Cowboys
Did you ever see that movie Hud?
Hud: "All right I'll bite. What turned you sour on me? Not that I give a damn."
Homer: "Just that, Hud. You don't give a damn. That's all, that's the whole of it. You still don't get it, do you? You don't care about people. You don't give a damn about 'em."
...
Lonnie: "Why pick on Hud, Granddad? He ain't the only one. Just about everybody around here is like him."
Homer: "That's no cause for rejoicing, is it? Little by little, the look of the country changes because of the men we admire."
