Russian positivism

From Popbitch:

RIP Yeltsin. The best quote on his presidency came
from his prime minister, Viktor Chernomyrdin,

“We hoped for the best, but things turned out as usual.”

quote o’ the day: how to choose a victim

Stolen from Sarcastro in the comments on Gawker:

…idiots are to be mocked because they can’t understand us,
children are to be mocked because they can’t hurt us and
the obese are to be mocked because they can’t catch us.

quote o’ the day: freedom of speech

Ground zero flag 

Stolen from Popbitch, here is Mark Cuban, for whom I have decidedly mixed admiration, discussing his decision to fund the distribution of Loose Change, a 9/11 conspiracy film in whose central premise he does not believe.

“I don’t believe the movie. Not at all. But I do believe that lies in the shadows are far more dangerous than lies you can confront and refute.”

quote o’ the day: an armed society…

We barely tolerate how other people drive,
how the hell are we going tolerate those same people packing heat?
