Good morning, Mr. Glass.

"I hereby stateth that, shouldst I contracteth the Red Death at Prince Prospero's castle, I waiveth all rights to plundereth His Majesty's Treasury for recompense."

Also, Happy Father's Day!

Be seeing you.

Next time you hear some political analyst talk about the problems in this country coming down to an inability for both sides to come together and talk things out, show this clip. Levels of stupid like this leave no room for productive conversation.

I see the GOP's true play here. It was a front for Dadaism all along!

Republicanism is DADA. Trump is DADA. Objective reality is DADA. All else is absurd and pointless. There is only DADA. And Trump is the purest expression of DADA.

All is for DADA. DADA is Republicanism! Long live DADA!

Although you probably could write a thesis to this effect...

Oh, this is what "power-knowledge" is all about.

It's time to haul these Arendt quotes out again because they are just too good.

“The aim of totalitarian education has never been to instill convictions but to destroy the capacity to form any.”

“In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true. ... Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”
