  • What's that saying? The more things change, the more the remain the same...

    You know there's a reason why such aphorisms were created and survive: they're true. Here's another one for this administration: Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

  • Have you noticed how much President Logan, from 24, looks like Nixon? Spooky.

  • Kvatch, I don't watch 24. I missed the early ones and kinda figured it's not something you can just jump in on.

    Plus, generally, I don't like the white hat/black hat national security themed action dramas or movies. I think it's that I never see the motivations all that clearly.

    And, EPM, Let me agree by saying that these are often repeatible and true because there is a universality of pitfalls and character flaws among those who aspire to positions of power. Grandiosity, megalomania, a belief towards infallibility, a view of the world as black and white.

    I forget who says it, but those who want power the most are probably the ones you least want to have it.

  • Wow. That's pretty neat. Three war criminals all captured together in one little picture.

  • WE used to watch a show called Laugh In back then. I recognise these blokes, so where's Goldy Horn and the other girls?

  • Cue the go-go music. Didn't the stodgy guy always end up looking the fool?

    You're right. It's like the X-files that way, so... Just for you, Mike. :-)
