Hollow Be They Name, Part Two...

 "The various forms of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the People as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; by the magistrate as equally useful..." -- Edward Gibbon, "Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire"

A Song of Ire and Vice...

 "I have learned a very important lesson about life below the Mason-Dixon, and relate it here for the benefit of the other Yankees who intend to move here: if you ever need anything simple, yet important, to be done, remember that these people have two main modes of operation -- Ass Backwards and Slower Than Joe Biden. No wonder they lost the War..." -- The Overlord

The Right To Steal...

 "The food we were given was no more than eatable, but the patron was not mean about drink; he allowed us two litres of wine a day each, knowing that if a plongeur is not given two litres he will steal three..." -- George Orwell, 'Down And Out in Paris and London'

Great Moments in Dumbfuck (Year End Edition)

 

"If you ever wanted to imagine just what your own asshole might look like after a marathon Mexican smorgasbord, followed by a 24-hour high-pressure enema, and a forced, un-lubed colonoscopy all happening at once, just think of Anthony Fauci on the witness stand..." -- The Overlord

You All Suck (#54b - Electile Dysfunction...)

 "One more such victory and we are undone..." -- Pyrrhus of Epirus

Exodus From New Yorkistan...

 "They plunder, they steal and they slaughter; this they falsely name 'Empire' and where they make a wasteland, they call it 'Peace'..." -- Gaius Cornelius Tacitus

Douchebag of the Week (Week Ending 9/3/2022 - "Governor" Kathy Hochul)

"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 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 breeds..." -- Plato

Happy "Independence" Day, Retards...

"I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest..." -- Henry David Thoreau, "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience"

The Public School Versus Technology...

 "Bureaucracy destroys initiative. There is little that bureaucrats hate more than innovation, especially innovation that produces better results than the old routines. Improvements always make those at the top of the heap look inept. Who enjoys looking inept?" -- Frank Herbert, "Heretics of Dune"

At Least Cruelty Sometimes Sleeps...

 "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity at some point satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likely to make a Hell of Earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's own will and to be cured of states we do not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles and domestic animals..." -- C.S. Lewis, "God in the Dock; Essays on Theology"

Gotham City For Reals...

 

"It's obvious. Only a criminal would disguise himself as a licensed, bonded guard yet callously park in front of a fire hydrant..." -- Batman

Dear I.R.S. : YOU SUCK!

 "Congresspersons are too busy raising campaign money to read the tax laws they pass. The laws are written by staff tax nerds who can put pretty much any wording they want in there. I bet that if you actually read the entire vastness of the U.S. Tax Code, you'd find at least one sex scene..." -- Dave Barry

Galactic Housekeeping #17 (The IRS, Identity Theft, and Your Master's Voice Edition)

 Just a few tidbits that will keep you updated on this particular corner of the galaxy...

Boost This...

"I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly, I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion..." -- The Hippocratic Oath

The World You Live In IV

 "As a medical doctor, it is my duty to evaluate the situation with as much data as I can gather and as much expertise as I have to determine if the wish of the patient is medically justified..." -- Jack Kevorkian, M.D.

"For who could be taught the knowledge of experience from paper? Since paper has the property to produce lazy and sleepy people, who are haughty and learn to persuade themselves, and learn to fly without wings...Therefore, the most fundamental thing is to hasten to experience..." -- Paracelsus

More COVID Capers...

"Stupid is as stupid does..." -- Forrest Gump's Momma

The Sisyphus of Kabul (Part Four)

 "The West is slowly being strangled by the East with the products of it's own culture..." -- The Overlord

Two Weeks to Flatten the Turd...

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

Two Diseases...

 

"In light of all the recent talk of new mask mandates, new shutdowns, and more-draconian restrictions, we may have to draw two unmistakable conclusions: the first is that "the shot" does not work. The second is that the people who are supposed to be "in charge" don't know what to do except to double down on fucktard. It should now be unmistakably clear that they have never known what do...and apparently do not care. You could easily be forgiven for starting to believe that these extraordinary levels of incompetence and venality are not mere accidents of personalities or failures of systems -- they are, and have been, deliberate acts undertaken for specific purposes." -- The Overlord

The Mask...

 "The Mask is the new gender-neutral burka..." -- The Overlord
