David and Charles Koch view politicians as "actors playing
out a script." Part of what they want to do with their billions
 is to "supply the themes and words for the scripts" by
influencing "the areas where policy ideas percolate
from: academia and think tanks." This is true, but only 
partially.  They also want to pour their money directly
into local elections, as they have in Wisconsin. If she were
still alive, Ayn Rand would doubtless write a novel about
the Koch brothers, entitled, Koch Blak.
Japanese authorities are now saying that Blythe Dolls, even
those exposed to 10,000 millisieverts of radiation, will never

"Do you understand why all three of you are standing there
 with your arms crossed? If you knew the fundamental
vocabulary of body language, you would know that crossed
arms serve as both a defensive shield and a reassuring
self-hug. This is understandable, given the fact that you're
standing in the presence of the President of the United
States of America, the most powerful person in the world."
Senator DeMint has said he will go "to extreme lengths to
prevent a vote on raising the debt ceiling, even if it hurts
the Republican Party politically."  Asked to give examples 
of which 'extreme lengths' he has in mind, the Senator
mentioned screeching and crying, holding his breath,
clenching his fists, stamping his feet, falling to the
ground and kicking his feet in the air, and 
clamping his eyes shut.

Not even Rick Santorum knew that his own presidential
campaign slogan---'Fighting to Make America, America
Again'---had been borrowed from Langston Hughes, the
gay, black, pro-union, pro-immigrant poet, novelist, and
playwright, who was often accused of being a Communist
 or, at least, a Communist sympathizer. But why should
Rick know that?  He's only a candidate for the highest
political office in the land.
"Honey, Timmy is begging for a another margarita."
"Jeez! I thought he only drank sangria."
"Mr. Brooks, the other day you wrote, 'Every few years,
Republicans try to reform the welfare delivery systems to
 make them more marketlike'.  How is making 'welfare
delivery systems' more 'marketlike' different from
abolishing them altogether, as the Republican Party
is now proposing?"

"I look very much forward to showing my
financials, because they are huge. Far bigger

'financials' is the euphemism Trump

"I have a great relationship with the blacks. I've always had
 a great relationship with the blacks."
Rush Limbaugh was stunned when he learned the language
he uses to call Barack Obama's supporters 'savages' and
 'walking human debris' is a descendant of the mother
 tongue of mother tongues, which arose in Africa
50,000 years ago.  He is so upset, in fact, that he
 is said to be considering eschewing language
 altogether, communicating henceforth only by
means of rude noises and gestures.

What do you see in this picture: 
Individuals or a Collective?  You
can see both, can't you?  And, if
you had to judge which was superior,
what would you say? If you were
Ayn Rand or Rand Paul, you would
say Individuals are superior to the
Collective, even though it is composed
of other Individuals.   Individuals,
you see, are created equal and,
taken together, constitute the
Collective.  But, you see, some
Individuals are more equal
than others, and are therefore
superior to the Collective.
If you're old enough to remember, you know that 'Flesh' was
the only stick in your box of Crayolas--even if you could afford
 the big one containing 64 colors--that attempted to represent
the hue of human skin.  And even it was something of a weird
 pink, like the color of the cheap salmon your mother bought
in a can to make croquettes on Tuesday night.  Well, times
have changed, and now Crayola offers a box of markers
representing eight different shades of human skin.  And,
as you might expect, the anti-multiculturalists over at
Fox News don't like it.  They prefer to believe they
live in a world where 'Flesh' means a whiter shade
of pale and nothing else. 
He had been warned, more than once, that if he went to
