Alas, this [Russian] sanctions gambit may lead to serious consequences — a nearly unthinkable outcome in our culture of Anything-Goes-and-Nothing-Matters.[1]The Ramirez cartoon at ZeroHedge is superb. Sanity and limited, representative government are all but driven from the field here at home thanks to the revolutionary ultra-left and pusillanimous, grasping Republicans but it is a distant, malevolent foreign power intent on world domination that is the author of our woes. "Only in America,” as Harry Golden used to say.

I'm beginning to agree with that quote from Einstein - that stupidity is infinite.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. America is a jewel, make no mistake. But there are people who trip over themselves to prove it's a distillation of human malevolence. That is some kind of stupid, esp. with all the info available about third-world inescapable poverty, kleptocracy, savagery, and superstition.
ReplyDeleteCharleston Heston's discovery of the buried Statue of Liberty in one "Planet of the Apes" movie was more prophetic than anyone knew.
