"In a democracy (‘rule by mob’), those who refuse to learn from history will be the majority and will dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance."
“I’m number nine! I’m number nine!”
It just doesn’t have the ring of “I’m number one!”
*sigh*
Googled “Third World County” and out of 1,360 hits, this blog came in at the number nine spot.
*profound sigh*
I just have to do something to trade y’all in on a new readership.

Hanging out the wash: Is this what the death of art looks like?
Strange thing… all the articles I’ve seen on the web that praise this washer-woman’s nightmare have been strangely devoid of pictures. Maybe that’s because the gushing praise would sound even more inane in the face of such crap. John Podhoretz’s article, “Masterpiece,” in the New York Post sums up my estimation of this blotch/”art” better than I can.
“So what if walking through the park simulated nothing so much as traveling through a car wash without the car?”
And that’s the highest praise he has for this piece of… work.
Naturally, the “art world” is agog. The ninnies.
The tip of the iceberg
Mark Steyn pegs the corruption that goes by the name “U.N.” in a piece filed yesterday, “UN Forces—Just a bunch of Thugs?”
“… corrupt organisations rarely stop at just one kind. If you don’t want to bulk up your pension by skimming the Oil-for-Food programme, don’t worry, whatever your bag, the UN can find somewhere that suits – in West Africa, it’s Sex-for-Food, with aid workers demanding sexual services from locals as young as four; in Cambodia, it’s drug dealing; in Kenya, it’s the refugee extortion racket; in the Balkans, sex slaves.”
