"No - stop. Really look at it. Then give me your honest opinion." Wary, I meet Raymond's eye. Does he mean this? The percentage of the population that welcomes an honest opinion is statistically negligible." -- MURDER ON 34th STREET, Mariah Fredericks

Great writing is bad writing plus time, plus the three raccoons who look into your window and see you drinking whisky and sobbing inconsolably over your bad manuscript, then after you pass out on the floor, they creep in and rewrite all your work.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

You know how everyone now says they were always against the Iraq war when most people were for it? Let’s just skip the step of going to war with Iran, because one day everyone will say how they were always against it… except the weirdos, who just love bloodshed and bombs.

Trump is defying court orders and abusing wartime powers to deport people with no due process. He's using the law that put Italian, German, and Japanese immigrants in detention camps during World War II. We are not at war. Donald Trump is not a king. He is not above the law.

Always wondered how the Star Wars Emperor could start with a battle-hardened army and end up with an "entire legion of his best troops" being beaten to death by teddybears with sticks. Then Hegseth ended up as US Defence Sec. And now yeah that makes sense.
