The New Sodom-on-the-Hudson

 "Nothing endures but change..." -- Heraclitus

Marxism, Eggs and Shoeshines...

 "There is a false modesty which is vanity; a false glory which is levity; a false grandeur which is meanness; a false virtue which is hypocrisy, and a false wisdom, which is prudery..." --- Jean de la Bruyere

Trans-action...

 

No quote today because I can't think of one that fits this particularly strange (I think) human interaction...

Happy Mother's Day, Bitch...

 "Often, the pretexts for starting a war are not real shortages of land, food or fuel, but rather perceptions -- like fear, honor and perceived self-interest..." -- Victor Davis Hanson

Semper Paratus!

Second post o' the day, dedicated to the wonderful Men and Women (although far be it from me to misgender anyone) of The United States Coast Guard.

Kovid Kop Kapers...

 "He was a tool of the boss, without brains or backbone..." -- Franz Kafka, "The Metamorphosis"

You All Suck (#49 -- No Apologies Here...)

 "If you find yourself obsessing over your social status, you probably don't have one to begin with..." -- The Overlord.

You All Suck (#47 - Post-Independence Day Rant)

 Apologies for an extended absence. There has been much to do around the new Death Star in the last two weeks -- much of it to do with an annoying building superintendent who believes his lowly station grants him dictatorial powers and an HOA consisting mostly of brain-damaged monkeys with severe ADHD, a consequence of being Baby Boomers. I have fought the good fight, and won most of the battles, over petty regulations which exist in contradiction of the premise that "Hey, I pay to live here. Fuck off and mind your own business".

You All Suck (#46 - Scum Rises To The Top)

 "...in government, the scum rises to the top..." -- Friedrich Hayek

Voices Inside My Head (#16 -- People Are Disgusting)

 "I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people..." -- Sir Isaac Newton

The Sorry State of the NYC GOP...

 No names were used in order to protect the dumbfucks...

Douchebag of the Week (State Senator Diane Savino (Dimwit-Staten Island))

 "There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all..." -- Peter Drucker

Of Nests and Pests...

 Please forgive the lateness of this post, for the Overlord had 'puter problems -- both keyboard and monitor gave up the ghost, simultaneously -- and my attempts at bodging together older components, and the blatant lies told by UPS concerning the definition of "two-day delivery", kept me from my regularly-scheduled duties. Sometimes, even the Dark Side cannot overcome the power of What Brown Can Do For To You. In the meantime, I also have to deal with this)

You All Suck (#41 - A New Imperialism)

 "Angeles was safe from invasion; the invaders wouldn't find a place to park." -- Robert A. Heinlein
