Life in the Banana Patch

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

When Democrats do it, it's okay!

Here a link to a 60 Minutes transcript about how the NSA has been reading your email. Oops. It's from September 2000. Two months before Gore had the election stolen. You know what this means? That the outrage the Left is going through is not because of the spying, but because someone besides them did it.

The government spying on its citizens in not news. Anyone remember J. Edgar Hoover? He complied files on practically everyone.
