George Henry Lewes:

Among the many strange servilities mistaken for pieties, one of the least lovely is that which hopes to flatter God by despising the world, and vilifying human nature.

Estelle Getty:

People assume that I’m wiser than I am because I’m somewhat successful. Age does not bring you wisdom, age brings you wrinkles. If you’re dumb when you’re young, you’re going to be dumb when you’re old.

William Makepeace Thackery:

One of the great conditions of anger and hatred is that you must tell and believe lies against the hated object, in order, as we said, to be consistent.

Hunter S. Thompson:

So much for Objective Journalism. Don’t bother to look for it here — not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.

Bob Molinaro:

After all these years, a comment before Super Bowl VI from Cowboys running back Duane Thomas remains the most redolent assessment of our annual national obsession. Asked about playing in the ultimate game, he said, “If it’s the ultimate game, how come they’re playing it again next year?”

Ogden Nash:

Senator Smoot is an institute
Not to be bribed with pelf;
He guards our homes from erotic tomes
By reading them all himself.

Epicurus:

Luxurious food and drinks, in no way protect you from harm. Wealth beyond what is natural, is no more use than an overflowing container. Real value is not generated by theaters, and baths, perfumes or ointments, but by philosophy.

The U.S. is a mere pup tent of a civilization. We’ve got two hundred years of stupidity behind us and we think we’re right up there with everyone else who’s been doing it for thousands of years.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
