I take it from your screen name you're a Trollope fan?
Which is your favorite? And do you read Thirkell also?

It is all true. Here is some recent surveillance.
After John Ichabod Kerry left the bar

He walked to a meeting

With the saturnine secret leaders of the DNC.

and where they concoct their toxic messages for the world.

I do not know..but ...it sure means it when it is reference to John Kerry. "glory has departed"
To: MNJohnnie
Some might argue that Major Charles Emerson Winchester III is really a better match for Kerry, especially given Winchester's ponderous accent and attention to breeding...

That painting's by Daniel Huntingdon, one of the Hudson River School. Very competent portraitist and technician. He's not as famous as, say, Durand, but probably because he was best known for his portraits and they don't "age" well.

It's going to be a LONG election season (sigh) until Kerry is defeated. (YAY!)

1 Samuel 4:21:
"And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband."
Apparently the name itself means "No Glory."

I love the leprechaun.
Is that a "Lucky Charms" little green man, or "Finian's Rainbow"?

I'm not familiar with the work, but the quote is extremely appropriate...
a self-promoting liar who is scorned and dismissed by real men and women for whom worldly power is too serious a consideration to let the Slopes of the world near it. I can think of no single literary comparisons for Kerry from my own experiences. I might manifest him via a morbid assemblage of James Taggart (Atlas Shrugged) the arrogant zero who feeds on the world's bounty while destroying same; Feyd-Rautha (Dune) Sly malicious royalty directed by a singular ambitious tendancy toward malfeasance; and Magwa (Last of the Mohicans) a savage so consumed with self-loathing and hatred that he is willing to destroy nations to satisfy it's dark lust. Tie this together with Shelley's, Frankenstein... a creature assembled by arrogant tinkerers in the image of a man, yet lacking the moral precepts that govern rational existence, stumbling through the confusion of an unbound life directed by whim, desire, and force.

That is from the old Disney Ichabod Crane. 1958, I think, or older. And I put Kerry's head on it.

Wow. There he is.

Looked just like a leprechaun to me. Although I guess one of the little people wouldn't be so snooty.

Another good one. Looks more like Wolfert Webber to me though.

First, the small box people. John Kerry is M*A*S*H's Major Frank Burns, returned to bluster and badger and arrogantly attempt to command his betters. To those below him, Burns was a constant pain. To those above, he was obsequious in the extreme. Towards his tentmates--whom he could not believe were his equals--he was always condescending, the perfect combination of insecurity and inflated self-esteem...

When Slope attempts to embrace Eleanor Bold In the Thorne's garden..."She sprang from him as she would have jumped from an adder...then, quick as thought, she raised her little hand and dealt him a box on the ear with such right good will, that it sounded among the trees like a miniature thunder-clap."
And Slope "longed in his heart to be preaching at her....He had an inkling---a true inkling---that he was a wicked, sinful man; but it led him in no right direction; he could admit no charity in his heart.
He felt debasement coming on him, and he longed to shake it off, to rise up in his stirrup, to mount to high places and great power, that he might get up into a mighty pulpit and preach to the world a loud sermon against Mrs. Bold"
In the 1970's Kerry preached eloquently from his little perch,against America, against the young men still being killed in Vietnam, against the possibility that freedom was infinitely better than tyranny.
Now, like Slope, Kerry wants "to mount to high places and great power" with no understanding of the uses of power except to feed his smug conceit, his bottomless vanity.
