I said great quotes. There is nothing great about GW Bush

Please read below

"To rename a Christmas tree as a holiday tree is as offensive as renaming a Jewish menorah a candlestick" -- Mathew Staver

A classic.

The following quote is from Byron during a fairly placid period in his turbulent life.

It is taken from the recently re discovered romantic poem 'To spunknipple on the dickfanny of your rimpiss'

In this poem, Byron takes us on a merry journey of a rambunctious and fruity nature through the pimpernels and water meadows of a bygone England.

The imagery of such a poem is pure in its simplicity. It cajoles the reader merrily along before lulling them into a false sense of serenity; it has them gallivanting merrily along one moment, plucking flowers from the ground and breaking jolly wind at friends using the forefinger as a 'fart gun' (a technique much enjoyed by the poets of this period).

Suddenly the poem turns darker and the next moment the readers are lying in a pool of their own cider frenzy induced urine with the nasty taste of 20 Benson and Hedges and a trace of vomit in their mouth.

The savage climax of the poem has the reader soiling themselves with an almost volcanic intensity; the kind which fills the socks, before they have to jump in a river to 'clean off' before taking the 2 mile trek home, head throbbing, muttering stuff about 'drinking on anti biotics' under their breath.

All in all the poem from which the following quote comes is widely seen in literary circles as a massive find for literature in the 21st century.

''When pissfilching an arsedick, it is better to w*nkerforth the pisspaddle than cuntplop with the pigshite. This is because cockbollocks always cunter the dickfondler, and never dickpee shittering ballstench.''

According To Abe

Is this what you had in mind when you called out to the angels for the 666th time?-Mark Sandman

The origins of Unwinese perhaps?

I like poetry, long walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick.

Death is the only cure for stupidity.

My favourite is my signature:

" The only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about"

Although a darker one I like is " The only sure thing about life is death"

I thought it was "death and taxes"...

Think not of what you did to your country but what your country did to you.

I don't know who came up with the change.

What our soldiers died for

[This] "is what our soldiers died for: a world in which Middle East dictators no longer murder their own, ruin their own societies, and then cynically use terrorism to whip up the Arab street and deflect their own self-induced miseries onto the United States. This is the calculus that led to 9/11, and the reason why Saddam gave sanctuary to 1980s terrorists, the killer Yasin who failed in his first attempt to take down the twin towers, and the likes of Zarqawi."

Victor Davis Hanson

A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

Two of my favorite Winnie Churchill quotes.

As solid a a rock is not

shaken by strong gale, so

wise persons remain unaffected

by praise or censure.

--Lord Buddha

Marry in haste, repent at leisure !!

A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but a foolish man's heart directs him toward the left. - Ecclesiastes 10:2

Hate is man's greatest pleasure, for man loves in haste but hates at leisure.

Someone sent me these, hope they are not a re-post.

Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

Success and failure are equally disastrous.

How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct.

Never trust the advice of a person in difficulties.

To know is not less than to feel.

Yours truly,

If we make peaceful revolution impossible, we make violent revolution inevitable. - John Kennedy

"O.K., now say you've been on a six-day drunk and you've just made a bet that you can back up all the way to Cleveland, plus you've got a buddy who's getting a blow job on the trunk lid. Well, let's face it — sooner or later you'll have an accident. But that doesn't mean that you should sit back and just let accidents happen to you. No, you have to go out and cause them yourself. That way you're in control of the situation." -P.J O'Rourke

All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships.
