Richard Nixon 1973 said:
There can be no whitewash at the White House.
We must reform our political process, ridding it not only of the violations of the law but also of the ugly mob violence and other inexcusable campaign tactics that have been too often practised and too readily accepted in the past, including those that may have been a response by one side to the excesses or expected excesses of the other side.
46 years later, there's a lying, moronic, sex pest in the Whitehouse!We must reform our political process, ridding it not only of the violations of the law but also of the ugly mob violence and other inexcusable campaign tactics that have been too often practised and too readily accepted in the past, including those that may have been a response by one side to the excesses or expected excesses of the other side.
Fire and wind come from the sky, from the Gods of the sky but Crom is your God. Crom, and he lives in the earth.
Once giants lived in the earth, Conan, and in the darkness of chaos they fooled Crom and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered and the earth shook and fire and wind struck down these giants and they threw their bodies into the waters. But in their RAGE the Gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. And we who found it are just men. Not Gods, not giants, just men.
The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one – no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts…

This you can trust.

I've posted this in the past but it's so good, I'll submit it again.
Hollywood wit Dorothy Parker was invited to Hearst Castle, the palatial home
of W.R. Hearst, the inspiration for Citizen Kane.
Hearst frowned upon quite a lot but was especially against extramrarital affairs going on in his home.
Dorothy Parker was caught in flagrante and was ;invited' to 'go down the hill' i.e. to leave.
Hearst was a very big wheel indeed and was himself having an affair with an actress/comedian with whom he ultimately fathered a child.
On leaving, Parker wrote in the guestbook...
'Upon mine honour I saw a Madonna
Standing in a Niche
Above the door of a wellknown wh*re
And a first-class son of a bi*ch'
An utter classic.

My fave saying is my own ( and it's on the bottom of my numberplate)....When someone gives me a good reason to grow up I'll think about it.
You’re possibly a stand-up guy, but I wonder how many people have been behind you, read that, and thought, “Oh Christ, what’s this pr**k going to do next?”Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
