I know I shouldn't be amused at the thought, but these days it seems black humor is all we got left.

The US made some commentary about how China should avoid oppressive measures and civil rights violations, and the Chinese response was something along the nature of...
"And YOU have any right to complain?"

Ouch, gotta admit though, saw that one comin.

It cannot be said enough, those who do not learn from history, are doomed to endlessly repeat it

The peasants are revolting...

Yes, they certainly are. I've always been revolted by them. :)

I can't help the sinking feeling that my country is now being run by people who read "1984" not as a cautionary tale, but rather as an instruction manual. - Michael Mock

From the article:
Loudspeakers on the streets repeatedly broadcast slogans urging residents to "discern between enemies and friends, maintain order."

I wonder if they've tried that in Gaza. "Hey you Palestinians. Discern between enemies and friends, and maintain order."

Or Iraq. "Hey you insurgents. Discern between enemies and friends, and maintain order."

Or Guantanamo Bay. "Hey you terrorist suspects. Discern between enemies and friends, and maintain order."

I'm going to write a book someday and the title will be I'm an Ass, You're an Ass. That's the most liberating, wonderful thing in the world, when you openly admit you're an ass. It's wonderful. When people tell me, "You're wrong." I say, "What can you expect of an ass?"
--Anthony de Mello, S.J.
