"It's asking a great deal that things should appeal to your reason as well as your sense of the aesthetic." W. Somerset Maugham, 'Of Human Bondage', 1915 English dramatist & novelist (1874 - 1965)
"Who knows what form the forward momentum of life will take in the time ahead or what use it will make of our anguished searching. The most that any one of us can seem to do is fashion something--an object or ourselves--and drop it into the confusion, make an offering of it, so to speak, to the life force."
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Rick Santelli's a Jackass

Let's take a complicated issue and reduce it to soundbites....and a great number of Americans as well. It's OK to bail out Wall Street, auto companies, insurance companies and let them still give themselves bonuses....yet when you're neighbor is in trouble, regardless of the reasons, fuck 'em.

Hey, give everyone money....that's his call to arms...but where was he when we were giving money to Wall Street?

Santelli must be running for office as he tries to appeal to the mass' fear and once again it all comes down to "where's my share?"

I guess just fuck everyone....every man, woman and child for himself....
