Happy Birthday Grandma Anderson!

The First Queen of Funny Faces was Born in Montana on December 22, 1917!

"Marion Anderson (1917-2001) was an amazing woman, full of grace and she laughed at all my jokes. I think she was the first person to recognize I was remotely funny. G"

Example

The Dissociated Evil Impulse

My friend Ken made this:




"It has always been recognized that if you split Being down the middle, if you insist on grabbing this without that, if you cling to the good without the bad, denying the one for the other, what happens is that the dissociated evil impulses, now evil in a double sense, returns to permeate and possess the good and turn it into itself."
-R.D. Laing

Quote of the Day

"Under the pretext of not accepting Evil, we end up making believe that we have, if not the Good, at least the best possible state of affairs—even if this best is not so great. The refrain of "human rights" is nothing other than the ideology of modern liberal capitalism: We won't massacre you, we won't torture you in caves, so keep quiet and worship the golden calf. As for those who don't want to worship it, or who don't believe in our superiority, there's always the American army and its European minions to make them be quiet."
-Alain Badiou

Where Ya Gonna Run To?

Innocent Prisoner

“An innocent prisoner will become more angry by the hour due to the injustice suffered. He will shout and rage. A guilty prisoner becomes more calm and quiet...or he cries. He knows he's there for a reason. The best way to establish guilt or innocence is non-stop interrogation.”
Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler
