Quips and Quotations

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it without a sense of ironic futility.

Quips and Quotations

What is dirty? And what is clean? Now, if I had to make a choice, man, I would rather my kid watch a stag movie than a clean movie like King of Kings. Why? Because King of Kings is full of killing and I don't want my kid to kill Christ when he comes back.

--Lenny Bruce

Mission Accomplished

I'm not very good at geography. I admit it.

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Just heard Osama Bin Laden was killed.

Just like politicians from both major parties promised.

No American soldier has died in vain, after all.

No civilian has died in vain, after all.

No money has been wasted, after all.

But back to geography.

Which I'm not very good at.

I have before me a map of Iraq.

I see Baghdad, Basra, Fallujah, Mosul, Kirkuk, Sadr City, Mosul, Ramadi, Samarra, Tikrit, and even Babylon.

But nowhere in Iraq, do I see a city named Pakistan.

Looks like some politicians aren't very good at geography, either.
