Belated Happy New Year..and How Leftism Killed a Child...

 "It would seem to me that the traditional wishing of everyone "A Happy New Year" is a waste of time. All that has happened is that time has passed -- it would have done so, anyway -- and with the realization that a New Year is beginning, you are reminded you're one year closer to your own mortality. So, congrats on surviving the clock for the previous 365 days and get cracking on those funeral plans." -- The Overlord

Canada, Ukraine and New Yorkistan...

 "This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half..." -- George Orwell, "Animal Farm"

Starving the Beast...

 "I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them..." -- Thomas Jefferson

The World You Live In II

 " I am NOT a racist...I hated Obama's White Half, too..." -- The Overlord

Defunding (Our Own) Terrorists...

 

"The object of terrorism is terrorism. The object of oppression is oppression. The object of torture is torture. The object of murder is murder. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?" -- George Orwell, "1984"

Cuomo Watch #2 ...

 "Hubris is one of the great renewable resources..." -- P.J. O'Rourke

"If one sins against the laws of proportion and gives something too big to something too small to carry it -- too big sails to too small a ship, too big meals to too small a body, too big powers to too small a soul -- the result is bound to be a complete upset. In an outburst of hubris the overfed body will rush into sickness, while the jack-in-office will rush into the unrighteousness that hubris always brings..." -- Plato

Notes from the 9th Circle of COVID Hell...

 "If everyone was jumping off a bridge, would you do that, too?" -- The Overlord's Mommy

A Majority of One (Post-Snotpocalypse Edition)

"If you stumble, make it part of the dance..." -- Unknown

Enough is Enough...

"Is ours a government of the people, for the people and by the people, or a kakistocracy, rather, for the benefit of knaves at the cost of fools?" -- Thomas Love Peacock

A Majority of One (Notes from The Dungeon Edition)

"There is a good deal to be said for internment. It keeps you out of the saloon and helps you to keep up with your reading. The chief trouble is that it means you are away from home for a long time. When I join my wife I had better take along a letter of introduction to be on the safe side." -- P.G. Wodehouse, remarks on his internment by the Nazis.

You All Suck (#37 --Defiant F*cktards and Snotrags)

"During these times there was a pestilence by which the whole human race came near to being annihilated. Now in the case of all other scourges sent from heaven some explanation of a cause might be given by daring men, such as the many theories propounded by those who are clever in these matters; for they love to conjure up causes which are absolutely incomprehensible to man, and to fabricate outlandish theories of natural philosophy knowing well that they are saying nothing sound but considering it sufficient for them, if they completely deceive by their argument some of those whom they meet and persuade them to their view. But for this calamity it is quite impossible either to express in words or to conceive in thought any explanation, except indeed to refer it to God. For it did not come in a part of the world nor upon certain men, nor did it confine itself to any season of the year, so that from such circumstances it might be possible to find subtle explanations of a cause, but it embraced the entire world, and blighted the lives of all men, though differing from one another in the most marked degree, respecting neither sex nor age." -- Procopius, Accounts of the Plague of Justinian (various sources)

Douchebag of the Week (Week Ending 10/20/18 - Governor Andrew Cuomo)

"We see many instances of cities going down like sinking ships to their destruction. There have been such wrecks in the past and surely there will be others in the future, caused by the wickedness of captains and crews, alike. For these are guilty men, whose sin is supreme ignorance of what matters most" -- Plato, Statesmen

You All Suck (Example #24 -- Empire State Edition)

"Remember, it is not enough to be hit or insulted to be harmed, you must believe you are being harmed. If someone succeeds in provoking you, realize that your mind is complicit in the provocation. Which is why it is essential that we not respond impulsively to impressions; take a moment before reacting and you will find it easier to maintain control" -- Epictetus, The Art of Living"

Douchebag of the Week (Week Ending 5/19/18) - Bill DeBlasio

"If a man will comprehend the richness and variety of the universe, and inspire his mind with a due measure of wonder and awe, he must contemplate the human intellect not only on it's heights of genius but in it's abysses of ineptitude." -- A.E. Housman

Of Rats and Sinking Ships...

"You want proof Evolution is for real; don't waste time with fossils. Just check out the New York City rat. They started out as immigrants, stowaways in some ship's cargo hold. Only the survivors got to breed, and they've been improving with every new litter. Smarter, faster, stronger. Getting ready to rule. Manhattan wouldn't be the first island they took over" -- Andrew Vacchs, "Another Life".

Modern New Yorkistan

"You approach Satan's wretched city where you behold a wide plain surrounded by iron walls. Before you are fields full of distress and torment terrible. Burning tombs are littered about the landscape. Inside these flaming sepulchers suffer the heretics, failing to believe in God and the afterlife, who make themselves audible by doleful sighs. You will join the wicked that lie here, and will be offered no respite. The three infernal Furies stained with blood, with limbs of women and hair of serpents, dwell in this circle of Hell." -- description of the City of Dis Pater, Fourth Level of Hell, Dante's Inferno

Get Off the Road!

There is nothing quite as frightening as the thought that human beings have been put in control of rolling contraptions of mechanical death...

Douchebag of the Week (Week Ending 12/2/2017) Betty Lyons.

One of the things that confuses the White Male of Privilege in me is the constant barrage of accusations of "genocide" allegedly committed by my forebears. It appears as if the White Man was actually rather inept when it came to genocide, considering there appears to be so many of you "victims" still left to complain. Amazing how that part of the historical record is never given over to the Revisionists to ponder.
