Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

LOL! …”summoned Underbus” and “withdrew his razor-sharpened race card” – Delicious!
[Precious that was! Nice Code Pink issue tie. ]
This dood can look through a keyhole using both eyes at the same time – meant every word he said.
Great video~! Obama, 100% man-made. Oh and the Iowahawk was extremely funny; unfortunately, the only two classicists that I know are both hardcore liberals which, you know, means no sense of humor at all.
Curtis, google “Works and Days”
Flatlander,
I recognized it immediately. I started reading Greek mythology in the 3rd grade and enjoyed it enough to keep reading. The 2 classicists that I know (sister, sister-in-law) are the real deal and unlike me, can read classics the old fashioned way; in Greek and Latin. They both swooned over Obama. It was too pitiful to watch so I climbed out of the hot tub and fled Del Mar until they went home.
I saw the Michael Moore video. Man, all that hate and discontent has really left him looking bad… not to mention sounding stupid.

Lex tagged this as “Small Stuff”, but the devil is in the details.
One other detail that I picked up recently.
Whenever a Pod er a gaggle or is that flock oh hell, When more than three BO supporters get together they start chanting – “Oh – Bom – A” . Which of course makes me want to change the channel or run from the room. During McCains introduction of his new running mate the crowd of well-wishers and McCain supports broke out in a rousing chant of – “U – S – A, U – S – A”.
Just a detail but it does say a lot about the people in our country and their priorities.
BT: Jimmy T sends.
