COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

How did we become ruled by the truly loathsome ?

  1. President Obama still has some friends in the investment banking world. Chad Leat, managing director and chairman of Alternative Asset Group — Investment Banking Department at Citigroup Inc., is hosting a $10,000-a-plate diner for Vice President Joe Biden on Aug. 24 at his home, The Barnyard in Bridgehampton.

  2. Two Indians and an Irishman were walking through the woods.
    All of a sudden one of the Indians ran up a hill to the mouth of a small cave.

    'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' he called into the cave and listened closely until he heard an answering, 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Woooooo!
    He then tore off his clothes and ran into the cave.

    The Irishman was puzzled and asked the remaining Indian what it was all about. 'Was the other Indian crazy or what?'

    The Indian replied 'No, It is our custom during mating season when Indian men see cave, they holler 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' into the opening.. If they get an answer back, it means there's a beautiful squaw in there waiting for us.

    Just then they came upon another cave.

    The second Indian ran up to the cave, stopped, and hollered, 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' Immediately, there was the answer.
    'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' from deep inside.

    He also tore off his clothes and ran into the opening.

    The Irishman wandered around in the woods alone for a while, and then spied a third large cave. As he looked in amazement at the size of the huge opening, he was thinking, 'Hoo, man! Look at the size of this cave! It is bigger than those the Indians found. There must be some really big, fine women in this cave!'

    He stood in front of the opening and hollered with all his might
    'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' Like the others, he then heard an answering call, 'WOOOOOOOOO, WOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOO!'
    With a gleam in his eye and a smile on his face, he raced into the cave,tearing off his clothes as he ran.

    The following day, the headline of the local newspaper read................

    NAKED IRISHMAN RUN OVER BY TRAIN!!!

  4. Romney can lose

    nevada
    colorado
    minnesota
    wisconsin
    ohio
    pennslyvania

    and win, but he's got to win

    florida
    north carolina
    virginia
    michigan
    iowa
    missouri

    to do it.

    That would make it Romney 270/Obama 268

    and law enforcement would have a time with the riots/attacks after.

  5. “… you didn’t get there on your own.
    You didn’t get there on your own.
    If you’ve got a business – you didn’t build that.
    Somebody else made that happen.”

    Nice phrase, memorable, short, to the point and correct.
