random quotes ... to amuse, inspire, enrage:
  I never met a bug who showed me a trace of liking or respect, no matter what I'd done for him. Contempt is what they show, contempt. I've known a bug to stare me in the eye with my gore dripping from his jaws, and anyone could tell from his vinegary face that he was comparing me with other meals in the past and finding fault with everything -- too salt, too gamy, needing more sass, something. He wouldn't have complimented me if I'd spiced my ass and put butter on it. So I contemptify 'em right back. I hate bugs. Damn a bug.

an article about another bushwreck: how bush wrecked conservatism

and the ongoing bushwreck of the US government’s trustworthiness as a source of information, and its government policy on the environment, all in one: Washington Post on the bowdlerization of a speech about global climate change, transforming it, basically, into “yaay for the public health benefits of global warming!”

bushwreck“: my favorite new neologism which i just made up right now. succinct, self-explanatory, and redolent of other two-syllable words like “bullshit” and “tranwreck”.
