I listened to the interview with Joe Lieberman.

Does he have a cold, or something, or does he always sound like Zoidberg?

Lisle tools

Everyone has weaknesses, and this has been the subject of many conversations recently.
I have sort of divided the Obamaites into a couple categories- those who are too stupid to know any better, those who understand what he’s doing and are complicit in the evil, and a new category that pascal and I just discussed this evening.

The intellectual.

The Intellectual should be bright enough to figure out the nonsense, but the flattery the Won bestows on them makes them blind. “he likes me! he must be smart. I have to support him” this is the kind of academic and intellectual that gives us Warren Buffet saying Obama needs to collect more taxes from the mega rich. God save us, as Pascal says, from “Smart” people.

The other thing that I find remarkable is that no matter what it is, people will accept a gift- and if it’s not a horrible gift, they will take it into their home.

in this manner you could place grenades in every home in the country disguised as ornate clocks.

Whether it’s a gift or a compliment, like the Won’s flattery of his academic supporters or the “Gift” of healthcare, it is only those of us immune to flattery and devoid of the sense of entitlement that realise that the flattery and gifts are toxic.
