Sounds like a line from an old Stevie Wonder tune. Let’s climb up on higher ground and take a look at what’s going on beyond Ferguson and D.C.
“The outcome of the
2008201020122014 elections is the End of Politics, proving once and for all that [x] istruefalsetruefalse and ending the argument for all time. I won, so all youRepublicansDemocratsRepublicans and Tea PartiersTea Partiers and Democrats need to shut up, bow beforeBarack ObamaJohn BoehnerBarack ObamaMitch McConnell, and accept your permanent and irreversible defeat.”
Seems legit.
The outcome was pretty much the same every time as far as I can tell. The State keeps rolling on, sometimes faster, sometimes slower, but always moving forward.
I for one welcome our new fascist overloads, the same as the old fascist overlords.
Who was that “all is flux” dude . . . Heraclitus or someone like him? So, yeah. And yet, there are other Parmenidean type “all is stasis” guys out there too. So, yeah . . . yeah
we still don’t have a clue and go ahead to take the next breath anyhow
Which one of them said that plus ça change thing?
Beats me. But I’d be interested to know.
Apparently it was a French knockoff of Ben Franklin. I don’t know if Ben took more after Heraclitus or Parmenides.
heh, I don’t know about Franklin in that regard either, but don’t mind suspecting we’d end up saying “both, or neither”, to the extent we might say the same of any parochial small p Platonist.
I’m with Jefferson: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
Preferably more tyrants than patriots, but even the home team loses from time to time…
Il n’est pas certain que tout soit incertain.
In anticipation of possible omelets for dinner, here’s a cheer going out to the Mrs. McG: Take the Egg
You mean KEEP the Egg.
Ole Miss is the only team that’s beaten the only team that’s beat us. A little added bonus for today’s game.
Well sure, yeah, keep it, save in the sense that once the coin flips it’s up for grabs and in a situation like that livin’ on last year’s laurels ain’t good for much as them uns aim to take it unlessun y’alls take it first.
Dammit. Both our teams had shutouts last week and we won ours. Ole Miss has been inconsistent this year, almost bipolar — and tonight they were in the up cycle.
On the bright side, the new owners of our previous home are Georgia Techies, and their team beat the UGA Drooldawgs.
Hope and Change Baby, Hope and Change!
at a gallop
this isn’t going anywhere
But it is galloping.
Also known as “We may be lost, but we’re making terrific time!”
“Let’s keep spinning those wheels — there’s bound to be traction down there somewhere!”
red queen hypothesis, anyone?
Is that like “death begins when learning ends”?
Speaking of when learning ends, where is DeceasedScholarMichaelBrownChil’s juvenile arrest record and why is it hiding from the light?
Eric Holder announces new policing standards, says “No more running down the street in gangs bellowing ‘Kill all the white people!’ and no more beating Bosnians to death with hammers.”
Oh, hang on, that’s not what he said.
