Delirium

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

Well I'm not fucking happy with America. The country is failing, and fast.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

If it makes you feel any better, I still hate America and resent its influences.

On the other hand, I like Poland alot.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

Hopefully we'll find a Reagan to sweep into office in a few years to restore us to our former glory.

If it's not Obama part deux in 2012, it'll be Mitt.

The president of the EU just said we were on a highway to hell.  So long as just one European hates us I feel we're doing our job.   :)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Nothing.  I think Will Self's argument that the world has an anger level that's permanently the same is accurate.  So if one person somewhere becomes more mellow, as Marty has (against the odds), then someone somewhere else gets suddenly a lot more angry.

You'd think that.  But the Czech dude is dead-on, unfortunately.

The Americans I care for are happy with me. The Americans I'd rather see washed away in the next Katrina aren't. C'est la vie.

There is no president of the EU. It's a Czech guy who like chairs a committee.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Nah, I think'll they shift heavily to the right with less interest in preserving business.  Think more along the lines of Pat Buchananon, Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin.
