Contortion Extortion

Contorting yourself to avoid hurting feelings leaves you in a knot and the other person as ignorant as before.

Officious Buffoons

If a person stays in politics long enough he will become officious. He may barely avoid becoming a buffoon.

Showmanship

Showmanship, salesmanship and self-promotion are symptoms of sickness in society. So is over-alliteration.

Take a Stance!

The truth can be truth only shorn of politics and if you think you are taking a “stance” then you have allowed politics in.

Hype

Hype is the gateway drug into hell, or Communism, take your pick. Over-hype is totalitarianism itself.

SOTUgh

The State of the Union is an abomination. It is a crass festival of puling spectacle. Anyone who tries to read the entrails of this mess is benighted almost beyond hope.

Grab Hold!

Accusing someone of “whataboutism” may be a valid criticism, but remember that it is a sword with blades on both ends.

Oh Yes You Do

The three greatest lies in America today:

  • I don’t like sweets.
  • I don’t watch a lot of television.
  • I don’t care what anyone thinks about me.

If you are trying to solve a problem you won’t pick scapegoats. If you pick scapegoats, you aren’t trying to solve the problem.

Consistently Ridiculous

A foolish consistency may be the hobgoblin of little minds, but quoting Emerson is the last refuge of demagogues and incompetents.

Free Will?

We have free will and we have none. Both assertions are true and cannot be reconciled, so get over it.

Boss Man

Don’t tell me what to do and I won’t ignore you. He who wants to boss is a poor individual who knows very little, least of all himself.

Who Knows?

Reality doesn’t depend on what you believe, and the “arc of history” can’t be known by those inside it.

Bless It Anyway

The world is a messy place with lots of petty evil, but the vilest evil appears only when someone tries to clean it all up.

Fear the man who believes he is evil almost as much as you fear the man who believes he is good.

Pick Me, Pick Me!

If everything deserves a standing ovation, then why waste the energy? Sitting is more comfortable, but then your butt may be numb so what the heck. It doesn’t mean anything anyway. Many times it is simply sophistication-signaling by people who don’t understand what they just experienced.
