Sorry, I’m going to continue stacking plates wherever there’s too much plate and too little table.

There’s so much from Pratchett. The Watch novels have some many wonderful quotes I’m finding resonate in our current uncertain world. one that always sticks with me, though, is Sam Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

Ah, Garak was just one of the best characters on that show.

Bashir: “I just want to know of all the things you told me, which ones are true?”

Speaking of lying - Garak from Star Trek DS9 in regards to The Boy Who Cried Wolf:

“My comment was not intended to be racist at all...”

These are the type of people, I’ve recently come to realize, who think they aren’t being racist because they aren’t overtly claiming they hate black people, and aren’t out lynching anyone.

Just like the noose around Obama’s neck isn’t racist, right? Just a handy coincidence.

If you refer to a black person as an “ape” there is no way in HELL you are not being racist. I’m sorry. This is not a case of “you misread my comment thooo.” It’s blatant racism.

Again, I would like to apologize for this getting out of hand

I’m sure another Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan executive can fill the vacancy. You know, drain the swamp.

Wait, what savings? And buying a cheap car means spending more money on maintenance, which isn’t included in this spreadsheet.

If it was that simple, more people would do it. There are reasons people make the choices they make and most people try to do the best they can with what they have.

There aren’t enough hours in the day to work your way through school anymore. Tuition costs have risen enormously, and wages have not.

I dont think this shows the difference between a broke and a ‘rich’ budget, I think it shows the difference between dreaming and reality.

Looks like this is basically saying ‘don’t have cable, student loans or a car payment’. Yeah, after I finished paying off my student loans and my car payment, I was suddenly able to save hundreds of dollars a month. Go figure!

If someone can tell me how to get my household car insurance down to $60/month (without leaving me with bare bone coverage), internet to $30/month, and student loans to $0/month I’ll pass some of the savings on to you.

I remember the controversy about Ellison being sworn in on the Qu'ran, and it was all created by some Virginia Rep, and I remember all my fellow Minnesotans and I were like "uh, WE elected him, so maybe your narrow-minded opinion doesn't matter." I really hope we've progressed enough since 2006 that Gabbard doesn't…

As a Hindu, you have no idea what you're talking about. Krishna's words about "consuming everything" is an allegory to the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth that forms one of the foundations of the faith. His soliloquy to Arjuna makes more sense in the context of the "family feud" (which involved repeated acts of…

Swearing on anything is not required. Nixon, who was a Quaker, affirmed his oath.

The Constitution?
