When Morons Gotta Jog...

 "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself..." -- Leo Tolstoy

"Since there was nothing at all I was certain of, since I needed to be provided at every instant with a new confirmation of my existence, since nothing was in my very own, undoubted, sole possession, determined unequivocally only by me -- in sober truth a disinherited son -- naturally I became unsure even of the thing nearest to me, my own body..." - Franz Kafka, Letter to His Father

Defeating The Left, Part One (Know Thy Enemy)...

 "If you know the enemy, and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, then for every victory gained you will suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy or yourself, you will succumb in every battle..." -- Sun Tzu, "The Art of War"

Steve And Alice

"The Kind of Man who wants the Government to adopt and enforce his ideas is always the kind of man whose ideas are idiotic." -- H.L. Mencken

"A much-larger covey hails from the stalwart states that begin with I -- like Iowa and Indiana and Illinois. Bred with just the right combination of fresh air, roughousing, and ignorance, these primitive blondes set out from the cornfields looking like starlight with limbs." -- Amor Towles, "Rules of Civility"

A Majority of One (A Mental Health Fortnight...)

Note to Readers: The thickness of the new breed of bullshit was such as to make it necessary for your Overlord to step away from the keyboard these last two weeks just to avoid committing an act of mass murder.
