A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.
"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell
Hmmm. Chevron's profits are up 20%.
From behind a podium made entirely of $100 bills, Chevron announced that they have had their most profitable year in 126 years! This includes the years before the government began to crack down on monopolies. Of course, Congress has stopped that. Horrible bother, making their contributers suffer with profit margins below 50% and all. That's why oil companies buy politicians.
Everyone, say "Thanks, Congress!"
