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
"Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas
"Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex
“Ruth Madoff’s Pain”, Combat Wombat, I have this sense of dripping sarcasm. Don’t you just love it when people say they can’t understand how anybody can survive on less than 50 million dollars a year? She benefited from her husband’s behavior, she should get the same sentence. I hope during his orientation, they would teach them both about the meaning of the phrase,”assume the position” or bend over and grab your ankles. I’ll let your warped imagination finish the comment.
Yikkes…what a flippen harpy…I think Bernie got the better half of that deal…fun and games in stir with Bubba… upside all around. Best
The beautiful part of it is, I understand, that the way the prosecution went he gets away with not having to tell nobody nothing; his kids are free and clear, and the harpy gets 2.5 M to keep! From the stories on NPR, she should be sleeping in a box in an alley somewhere, and collecting dog squeezefor a living for what they did to people!
CW, compassionately challenged today….
Um, you do realize that was satire, right?
Hee, hee, what a great site. Kind of like The Onion. I liked the other “articles” too…”US prepared to confront North Korea with strongest possible adjectives…Obama says we’re ‘prepared to consult the thesaurus’
I’ll have to bookmark this.
Satire? like in “’s a tire?”…? Yep.
The silver lining in all this is that a bunch of lefty foundations that pour money into far left causes also had money parked with Madoff and now that those accounts are pretty much Tango Uniform, a lot less funding will be avail. for many far left causes to play around with.
My pet crocodile weeps.
Some of those far leftist causes said they might have to close up shop. It is to weep – not! The left needs far less funding. I have no trouble with them marching in Berserkley and yelling at each other. Just leave the sane alone.
Who decided she should get 2.5 mil? How about $10,000 to rent an apartment and buy some groceries. Then go get a job at Bloomingdale’s cosmetics counter.
I’d give her a buck and cut her loose…
You know – it is satire and I get that. But I can also hear her actually saying something close to it, especially the part about the houses.
These kinds of people just don’t see their role in the downfall of so many others.
Tango Sierra.
