The only thing in his head are a putter, a cheeseburger, a porn video, and someone else's credit card." ~ Timothy L. O'Brien, Senior advisor to the Bloomberg 2020 campaign, on Donald Trump

Quote of the Day

One thing I can tell you about traumatic brain injury is that it can be a lot more serious than bone spurs." ~ Pete Buttigieg

Quote Of The Day

How pleasant to lie motionless on the sofa and to know that one is alone in the room. Real happiness is impossible without solitude. The fallen angel betrayed God probably because he longed for solitude," ~ Anton Chekhov, from Complete Works of Anton Chekhov; "Ward No. 6,"

Quote of the Day

A person of good intelligence and sensitivity cannot exist in this society very long without having some anger about the inequality—and it's not just a bleeding-heart, knee-jerk, liberal kind of a thing—it is just a normal human reaction to a nonsensical set of values where we have cinnamon flavored dental floss and there are people sleeping in the street." ~ George Carlin

Quote of the Day

There are many parts of my youth that I'm not proud of… there were loose threads… untidy parts of me that I would like to remove. But when I pulled on one of those threads… it unraveled the tapestry of my life." ~ Jean-Luc Picard in STTNG: Tapestry

Quote of the Day

Donald Trump is not simply stupid. His idiocy is a complex system of ignorance, narcissism, and xenophobia wrapped in a web of insecurity and covered by a thick layer of self-loathing, afloat in a spiraling ever-widening miasma of dementia." ~ Middle Age Riot on Twitter

Quote of the Day

It is very sad to me that some people are so intent on leaving their mark on the world that they don't care if that mark is a scar." ~ John Green

Quote of the Day

Putin couldn't have done it without the help of the GOP. From his attack on the 2016 U.S. election to his coverup since, Moscow's greatest ally in hybrid warfare against America is the Republican Party." ~ Alexandra Chalupa

Quote of the Day

It's much better to age disgracefully! Take it on the chin, and roll with it. You die young, or you get older. There is nothing in between! You may as well enjoy it. My mother once said, 'Never worry about getting older. I know the thought of you being 45 when you're 25 is, Oh, my god! Who wants to be 45? But it's amazing because when you get to be 45, you'll realize it's actually very cool and you don't want to be 25 again.' And I have to say, she was absolutely right. With every age comes advantages and disadvantages. And you tend to find that you don't want to go back. You want to be exactly where you are with everything you've experienced." ~ Helen Mirren

Quote of the Day

The modern GOP has given us Nixon, Agnew, Bush II, Cheney, and now Trump and Pence. Plus the Religious Right, the Tea Party, the Freedom Caucus, and has granted the NRA's every wish. From cunning crooks to war crimes criminals to corrupt authoritarians. It is all down hill, and getting worse fast." ~ John Dean

Quote of the Day

I like cancelled plans. And empty bookstores. I like rainy days and thunderstorms. And quiet coffee shops. I like messy beds and over-worn pajamas. Most of all, I like the small joys that a simple life brings." ~ Unknown

Quote of the Day

A soulmate is someone who is willing to grow with you, who chooses to be with you until the end, and will love you through good and bad. It's not about sunshine and laughter, it's about mundane moments filled with unknowns." ~ T.B. LaBerge

Quote of the Day

Trump's rage over the anonymity of the whistleblower may seem excessive, but it has its own logic. Anonymity means Trump can't give the person an insulting nickname, can't call him or her ugly or fat, can't use his surrogates to smear and intimidate. He can't make it personal. And if Trump can't make it deeply personal somehow, his only alternative is to challenge the whistleblower's account on its merits, on factual grounds, which Trump knows is impossible. THAT is why he's so frustrated. His foe's anonymity disarms him." ~ Jay Bookman via Twitter

Quote of the Day

Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything. They make you feel so alive that you'd follow them straight into hell." ~ Karen Marie Moning

Quote of the Day

Our hearts resemble houses constructed by our parents. When we're young and something breaks they repair the damage. As we get older we learn how to maintain and protect our own houses. First we have to learn how to welcome guests. We may deliberately allow them to enter our intimate lives. Some stay a short time and others stay longer. Some may damage our home or even steal from us. Still, in the end we each need someone to love our home and to become a part of it." ~ Bammer
