"I slept and dreamt that life was Joy.
I woke and saw that life was Duty.
I acted, and behold, Duty was Joy."
–Rabindranath Tagore

"The skepticism about human rationality that science inspires should not be taken as support for authoritarianism or paternalism… On the contrary, it should render questionable all claims to wise and disinterested leadership, including those of America’s own altruistic progressive technocrats who propose policies to “nudge” the unenlightened masses into doing the right thing. It makes more sense to think of our leaders and intellectuals as half-crazed hooting howler monkeys — just like the rest of us."
–Michael Lind, Salon, August 23,2011
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009
 “To date, what non-Obama voters see, and fear, is a candidate content to coast to the nomination and then conduct a blandly conservative campaign. They want a more substantive choice than that. They want to have it out over the worth or danger of Barack Obama’s ideas. They want the chance to ratify Washington’s enormous long-term claims on the country’s wealth, or decisively reject them." – Daniel Henninger, WSJ, July 21, 2011

Pee Sticker Update

DateTuesday, March 1, 2005 at 01:47PM

Kurt Carnier, a Belgian, was so affronted by the "pis stickers" that the Socialists pasted in urinals in advance of President Bush's visit that he has filed suit against the Flemish Socialist Party and the Young Socialists ("Animo").  His reasons are very gratifying from an American perspective, and Luc van Braekel offers excellent commentary in his blog.

Quid Nimis thanks Mr. Carnier for his defense of President Bush but we respectfully suggest that he leave the Socialists to the pursuit of happiness and gainful employment.

I just want you to know that a majority of the Belgian people is against this childish behavior of our Socialist Party. Unfortunatly we are not all like Mr. Carnier with his wonderfull and brave reaction against this stupid 'sticker' act.
