G'morning, Jack. (It's 8 am here)

I have this thing for quotes… I collect them like some folks do antiques or trinkets to be displayed in glass cases. So here I was just tripping through Random Fate and saw your Quote of the Day... and I'm like, ah ha! A chance was presenting itself to make a comment! But try as I may, I could not find a good counter-quote save for one and now I have to present it with some degree of embarrassment because… well…

"Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact."
- George Eliot

We don't handle randomness well.
   -Dr. Lucy Jones


Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
   -Dandemis

Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
-John Donovan, 12 May 2004
