Where should I go tonight – Here or Here?

Quote of the day, with slight objection

I don’t want to be a subject of my government. I don’t even want to be a shareholder. I just want to be a customer. # 2010/02/05

Only a person who had  never had a misfortune to be a customer of government’ services, can say that.

[I know, etiquette requires that I sent reply via Twitter, but I do so dislike that infantile form of communication...]

Only in California

Our school had all or nothing policy. A child bring valentine to all or no one.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she said it with pride.

Dio mio, what idiots. Collectivist brainwashing in all its stupidity.

Update.

Thinking more about it, I see my title is wrong. Because I remembered my son’s Brooklyn 1st grade  teacher giving a presentation lesson called “Everyone is Special” …no, not only in CA. In every brain-dead sanctimonious hypocritical liberal head, no matter where they reside – the same rot.

Mystery solved

Now I know why I’m single: I don’t drive!

Мохнатый сукашмель

Какой разброс мнений. А вот, может, фильмец этот (к которому и сама была неравнодушна по его выходе – ну, для щенячьего моего тогдашнего возраста простительно)  надо использовать в качестве той самой лакмусовой бумажки, ну или что-то вроде пятна Роршаха.  С вариациями основной темы – по линиям исполнителей, музыки, усов, древних колёсных пароходов, розы в ухе  (ну или в бокале золотого как небо &&&),  пошляков в белых куздюмчиках [и штиблетах, добавляет глумливая стервоза из глубин сознания],  Русской Драматической Традиции, провинциально-усадебного классицизма, деловых людей [по Островскому - и в персональном понимании], и всякой другой цыганской клюквы…

Ну вот, например;  почувствуйте разницу:

Quote of the day

So, does vaccination cause global warming or not? I’m confused…

Obama in Copenhagen

This news were just broken by David Hurvitz:

10. Adams: Obama in Copenhagen (Nonesuch).
John Adams’ new opera, premiering in San Francisco in April, returns to his “Nixon in China” roots, while further ratifying his relentless determination to make art out of current events as speedily as possible. In this latest effort, President Obama and other world leaders gather tumultuously in Copenhagen to save the planet from the effects of global warming, Congress struggles to pass the contentious health care reform bill, and Michelle Obama frets about her upcoming appearance on the Food Network’s Iron Chef Ultimate Battle. Musical highlights include Obama’s lyrical “Greenhouse Gas” aria, a vigorous patter-chorus of disgruntled Republicans, and a contentious duet between Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, “Wither the Public Option?” Two countertenor “Joes,” Biden and Lieberman, provide comic relief.

Personally, I loved #2 .

In anticipation of Valentine’s Day

…I’ll give you a taste.

Дворничиха из соседнего дома, лет 35, не больше, разговаривает со своей знакомой примерно того же возраста.
- А как у тебя дела на любовном фронте?
- Не спрашивай. Сижу в окопе и не высовываюсь.

A janitor from the next building, woman of about 35, talks to her girl friend of the same age.

-And what is going on on your Love Front?

-Don’t ask. I’m sitting in the trench and trying not to stick out
