Today's Quote


The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion. Tired at length of anarchy, or want of government, they may take shelter in the arms of monarchy for repose and security.

Those then, who resist a confirmation of public order, are the true Artificers of monarchy — not that this is the intention of the generality of them. Yet it would not be difficult to lay the finger upon some of their party who may justly be suspected. When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits — despotic in his ordinary demeanour — known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty — when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity — to join in the cry of danger to liberty — to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion — to flatter and fall in with all the nonsense of the zealots of the day. It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may “ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.”


-- Alexander Hamilton, Aug 1792

This is from a "note" to George Washington.

Reading some of it now, I get a very bad feeling that someone is taking Hamilton's warnings and following them like a playbook.

It won't matter, of course. These folks hit the reset button every morning and everything starts over.

So this is more than a little weird. Two of my least favorite genres come together to make something that I like.

GangstaGrass.


And now my brain hurts.

The Scary Part


Trump could shoot somebody on camera in the Senate and they'd acquit him 53-47.

Unless he shoots a Republican, then they'd acquit him 52-47.
