You All Suck (Example #34 -- Impeach This, Asshole!)

"I think it absolutely necessary that the president should have the power to remove his subordinates from office; it will make him, in a peculiar manner, responsible for their conduct, and subject him to impeachment, himself, if he suffers them, to perpetrate with impunity high crimes or misdemeanors against the United States, or neglects to superintend their conduct, so as to check their excesses." -- James Madison

Step Back and Breathe...

"There is something that unites magic and applied science (technology) while separating them from the "wisdom" of earlier ages. For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of life was how to conform the soul to objective reality, and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline, and virtue. For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform objective reality to the wishes of Man, and the solution is a technique." -- C.S. Lewis

Mueller and Tilting at Windmills....

"The truth may be stretched thin, but it never breaks, and it always surfaces above lies, as oil floats on water" -- Miguel Cervantes, "Don Quixote"

Douchebag of the Week (Week Ending 8/18/18 - Robert Mueller)

""Nip the shoots of arbitrary power" is the only maxim which can preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, destroyers and betrayers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The encroachment upon the American constitution is such as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners and the pensioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day expands the circles of the dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit and frugality become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness and downright venality swallow up the whole society." -- John Adams "
