REALITY-BASED Community
Those of us in the REALITY-BASED Community cannot afford to forget THIS:
“….The aide said that guys like me were ”in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who ”believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ”That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued. ”We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

I’m Against It
By: Groucho Marx w/ Reginald Barlow
Horse Feathers 1932
I don’t know what they have to say,
It makes no difference anyway –
Whatever it is, I’m against it!
No matter what it is or who commenced it,
I’m against it.
Your proposition may be good
But let’s have one thing understood –
Whatever it is, I’m against it!
And even when you’ve changed it or condensed it,
I’m against it.
I’m opposed to it –
On general principles I’m opposed to it!
Chorus:
He’s opposed to it!
In fact, in word, in deed,
He’s opposed to it!
For months before my son was born,
I used to yell from night till morn,
Whatever it is, I’m against it!
And I’ve kept yelling since I commenced it,
I’m against it!

“South Park” Explains The Bailouts (VIDEO)
“South Park” Explains The Bailouts (VIDEO)
Last night’s “South Park” took on the economy, which lead to an incredibly convoluted episode that was almost as bizarre as our current financial state. Suffice to say the, the recession has hit South Park hard, and when Stan tries to return a margarita maker everything goes haywire. He’s carrying it around when he reaches the Treasury, only to find their methods of determining who gets America’s money and why to be more than unorthodox.
