Hurtling the Pentagon into an unprecedented budgetary meltdown is horrifically irresponsible. Obama doesn't care. This is war - not against the Taliban, but war against the GOP. He has Republicans on the ropes, and that's a victory he savors and desires - unlike Afghanistan, where he seems only to want to turn tail.

Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.

Saint Augustine

When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a belovedperson, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken thatlight on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought ofthe unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in thehearts you encounter.

Albert Camus

The sumptuous age of stars and images is reduced to a few artificial tornado effects, pathetic fake buildings, and childish tricks which the crowd pretends to be taken in by to avoid feeling too disappointed. Ghost towns, ghost people. The whole place has the same air of obsolescence about it as Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard.

Jean Baudrillard

Nothing is more important than reconnecting with your bliss. Nothing is as rich. Nothing is more real.

Deepak Chopra

Do what you love. Know your own bone gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still.

Henry David Thoreau

Rest assured that whatever station of life we are placed, princely or lowly, it contains the lessons and experiences necessary at the moment for our evolution, and gives us the best advantage for the development of ourselves.

Edward Bach

In war, you win or lose, live or die - and the difference is just an eyelash.

Douglas MacArthur

What a man thinks of himself that is what determines, or rather indicates his fate.

Henry David Thoreau

Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts

Richard Feynman

There's many a man has more hair than wit.

William Shakespeare

Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.

Benjamin Franklin

When I was a kid I got busted for throwing a rock through a car window and egging a house on halloween.
