The people who know the least vote Republican, which doesn't surprise me.

Are uneducated fuckers not found everywhere? I did not know that the United States had that market cornered....

It is depressing that one of those votes cancel out mine...

I don't believe the poll mentioned in the article.

Believe it.

I recently read an excerpt in Harper's of an interview between newly elected French president Sarkozy and philospher Michel Onfray. They cogently and eloquently discussed the role and nature of labor in defining the individual among other topics. Sarkozy easily references Zola and Seneca's letters as influential.

I tried to imagine many of the buffoons this country routinely elects to the highest offices having that conversation and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The anti-intellectual tendency of this country has snowballed recently and it's a particularly insidious poison because those it has infected automatically become immune to treatment. They are, in fact, hostile to it.

The fuckin' sun rises and sets man. Of course it revolves around the earth cause if the earth went around the sun then the fuckin' earth would rise and set.
