The Rogues Gallery of Leftard...

 "We all watched. The television coverage just yesterday. That's on top of everything else we know and don't know yet based on just what we've been able to see and because we've seen it or not doesn't mean it didn't happen..." -- Kamala Harris, expounding upon the January 6th Hearings.

TDS Versus TBS...

 "The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that he is not independent. In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with him as a person, but with slogans, catchwords, and the like that have taken possession of him. He is under a spell, blinded, misused, and abused in his very being. Having thus become a mindless tool, the stupid person will also be capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing that it is evil. This is where the danger of diabolical misuse lurks, for it is this that can once and for all destroy all human beings..." -- Dietrich Boehnhoffer, "Letters and Papers From Prison"

The Sisyphus of Kabul (Part Three)

 "No dumb bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other, poor dumb bastard die for his country...". -- George S. Patton, "War As I Knew It"

"A good plan, executed violently, is better than a perfect plan executed at some indefinite time in the future...".George S. Patton, "War As I knew It"

The Sisyphus of Kabul (Part Two)

 

"To each comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour..." -- Winston Churchill

The Sisyphus of Kabul (Part One)

 

"Yea and I beheld Sisyphus in strong torment, grasping a monstrous stone with both his hands. he was pressing thereat with hands and feet, and trying to roll the stone upward toward the brow of the hill. But oft as he was about to hurl it over the top, the weight would drive him back, so once again to the plain rolled the stone, the shameless thing. And he once more kept heaving and straining, and the sweat the while was pouring down his limbs, and the dust rose upwards from his head..." -- Homer, "The Odyssey", Book XI.

Three Thoughts...

No quote today (I know you're disappointed), just a recap of some recent events and some things I've found interesting.

Douchebag of the Week (Week Ending 4/13/2019) - The Clintons.

"That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire..."
                                                               
                                       -- Rudyard Kipling "The Gods of the Copybook Headings"

You All Suck (Example #25 -- The New Puritans)

"Just an observation, but it is an indication of just how fucking crazy people are about sex these days that the two biggest "sex scandals" in America in the last decade -- Brett Kavanaugh and Anthony Weiner -- didn't involve any actual sex. At least Slick Willie got his Willie Slick. We're doomed." -- The Overlord

Douchebag of the Week (Week Ending 9/1/18 - Lanny Davis)

"The first thing we do, lets kill all the lawyers." -- William Shakespeare, "Henry VI"

Douchebag of the Week (Week Ending 11/18/2017): The American Public...

It would appear as if the greatest existential threat that faces America does not come from North Korean nuclear weapons, the specter of Islamofascist terrorism, or even the phony horrors of a supposedly-overheated planet; rather, our Doom originates in the special brand of Industrial-Strength Fucking Stupid we have been churning out in assembly-line fashion for the last six decades.

When I finally achieve power over Space, Time, Matter and Energy, a lot of you are going to be contemplating a future in which you might end up as a desiccated, powdery substance I've sold off to the highest bidder for use as an additive to kitty litter.

You All Suck (Exhibit #8 - The Illusion of Control)

The following is a true story. I can produce many witnesses. The point in telling it is to demonstrate what happens when you allow unserious, mentally-suspect people to assume positions of serious responsibility which require cool judgment and intelligence; eventually, farce ensues and everyone pays a price for the sake of saving one total dimwit's job or undeserved reputation.

Douchebag of the Week (Week Ending 4/28/17): Barack Obama.

Liberals only hate money when other people have it.

It certainly did not take very long for former serial Douchebag of the Week Award Winner, former President Barack Hussein Obama, to return to his championship form. Why, one could almost be forgiven for thinking that, thankfully, out of office, Obama would retire quietly, perhaps taking up a new profession more in line with his talents.

You know, like scraping chewing gum off the bottom of movie theater seats, Men's Room Attendant (even Men in Dresses!) at Target, or perhaps selling peanuts at Wrigley Field.

But no. Some people just have all the luck, like when they get Nobel Peace Prizes for being (half-) black (and then start three more wars), or for landing tony book contracts when it's questionable as to whether such an inarticulate liar can even write (we know he can read whatever smart white men feed into his teleprompter, but I could train a chimp to do that. Oh, no! I just mentioned chimps and Obama in the same sentence. I must be racist!).

Besides, we all know it's Michelle who is the Ape in Heels.
