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
More concerns about government funded health care. Thanks to the crappy economy and budget cuts, poor women are being denied mammograms and Pap smears. Medical care by government. We will be so fortunate!

Waitaminit!
I thought the world would erupt in orgasmic joy with the arrival of Obama and Peace would descend from Heaven and angels would fly through the air. Apparently no one told Iran and North Korea. According to CNBC (formerly the biggest Obama cheerleaders whose bias is obvious but not harmful, like FOX's), under Obama the threats those countries pose has gotten worse.
I guess North Korea and Iran don't put a lot of stock in Nobel Prizes.
Hold it! Does this mean that George W. Bush was right in not engaging in direct talks, as Obama wants to do?
