Quote of the Day by Southack

[Ruth A.]

This-is-so-fine bump.

Compared with Hillary Clinton, Bill is a big pile of humility. "While Bill talked about social change," says Hillary, "I embodied it," to loud hosannas and wild exaltations. In China, at the 1995 United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women, "The serious and stony-faced delegates suddenly leaped from their seats to give me a standing ovation. Delegates rushed to touch me, shout words of appreciation and thank me for coming." In Chicago, at the 1996 Democratic Convention, "The crowd erupted into a frenzy of clapping, chanting, and foot-stomping. . . . My motions to urge the crowd to sit down were futile, so I just waved and let the cheers wash over me."

Narcissism personified. Being booed must really blow her mind.

I thnk this is the a better anecdote to explain her worldview:

Hillary failed the District of Columbia bar examination, but she passed in Arkansas--and "in the first jury trial I handled on my own, I defended a canning company against a plaintiff who found the rear end of a rat in the can of pork and beans he opened for dinner one night."

The read end of a rat seems particularly Bill Clintonesque.

Confession time, John.

I was walking past the local bookstore this afternoon when suddenly I felt evil waves emanating from their sidewalk display. There was The Book. Time seem to telescope as I was drawn irresistibly towards it. I could just discern a green aura around the cover as I felt my hands- my bare hands- pick it up. It was unspeakably heavy, unspeakably evil. This is what the Necronomicon must feel like, I thought. Opening, to the first picture section, I saw the pics: Hillary as a Goldwater Girl, Hillary taking charge at Wellesley, Hillary cutting open a gunowner's chest with an obsidian knife and offering his heart to the pagan gods. Using every ounce of will in my possession, I closed the book, put it back, and came straight home to wash my hands- again, and again. It was only a short inspection. Do you think I've done any permanent harm? It'll be dark, soon.

Maybe you're alright, afterall. I put the display copy of her book face down on the next table. I'm bad.

Garlic, lots of garlic may help, but no guarantees.

[Hank Rearden]

A few copies of "Treason" slipped out of my grasp today at Costco and damn! they just happened to land on top of several Hitlery books in a big pile of unsold Hitlery books. Said Hitlery books were already back-cover-up for some reason.

I hate it when that happens.

[scott7278]

You didn't mispronounce "Klaatu Varata Niktu" in it's presence, did you?

[capitan_refugio]

I know what you mean.

[capitan_refugio]

"Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!"

[scott7278]

The Day the Earth Stood Still = "Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!"

Army of Darkness = "Klaatu Varata Niktu"

Odd, huh?

[capitan_refugio]

Now I won't be able to sleep.

[Byron_the_Aussie]

...maybe you're alright, afterall...

Merci, mon Capitan.

I'm sure I'm worrying about nothing. Except... when I got home, the power was out, so I had to light a bunch of candles. Now, for some reason, bats- hundreds of bats- are trying to get in. I can hear their little wings beating against the windows. And someone's coming up the driveway. Heavy, leaden footfalls....it's at the door. Pounding, on the door.

I'll be back in a moment......

[Ed_in_NJ]

"There's nothing here. Just move on."

[libertylover]

I don't plan to buy a copy of Hillary's book; I don't even have a fireplace.

[Brian Allen]

Oh boy.

I see and exorcism in your future, By.

What d'yah reckon, Amigo e Hermano, Juan?

[okiedust]

Heavy, leaden footfalls....it's at the door. Pounding, on the door.

Run Byron, Janet has come for you and she brings flames.

I feel so saddened for PJ O'Rourke that he was forced to read this tome in order to review it. For me, the book jacket was sufficient to come up with a short review: "Pure Sh*t." Actually, mine took twice as many words as necessary, but sometimes I do go on.

Watch for horses sweating in the morning, cow's milk souring, and animals being still born? These are signs that the dark ones are near.

[gathersnomoss]

Does anyone here have the "boo's" that "washed over" Shillery at the Concert For New York? I would certainly like to see that one again.

[gathersnomoss]

YOu and I have the same game plan for our Hillary fans who shop at Costco. Keep up the good work.

I continued this campaign at Barnes & Noble on Saturday. They seem to fix their displays shortly after they are altered. My, my, they must protect the queen, you know.
