Other Buddhas

Someone asked the Master if he believed in luck.

"Certainly," he replied with a twinkle in his eye. "How else can one explain the success of people one does not like?"

"Talk'n dirty on demand? ... It's a gift."

Mrs. Eclecticity

I hate to admit it, but most of the time I'm about as much of a sheep as everyone else. E.

“Everybody has a plan, until they get hit.” Mike Tyson

"Beginning to wear tassels on your shoes just might be the beginning of the end." E.

In a republic, politician's posteriors are for kicking, not kissing. Vox Day

Some days, it's not even worth chewing through the leather restraints. Yolanda Savage

I'd visit this blog even if it weren't mine. E.

I think I need a 3-5 year break from Garrison Keillor's voice. E.

The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
Albert Einstein

If you call yourself a "change agent" you're probably not. E.

Does it ever irritate anyone else that Alex Trebek sometimes acts like he really knows all the answers in Jeopardy, but all he really knows are the answers he holds in his hand? E.

I was into being into things before they got popular before being into things before they got popular got popular. Dan Wineman

I hope for a competent president.Shelby Steele

The idea that atoms exist and stick together in Angelina Jolie shaped clumps is supernatural enough for me to entertain the idea of a creator.

“

When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.

—	Mark Twain, Mark Twain’s Notebooks & Journals

“I lived la Vida Dilbert.” Craig "Craigslist" Newmark

And of course we are herd animals with a formidable tendency to attach ourselves to groups—it doesn’t much matter what groups—and fight other groups. Thus football teams, bowling clubs, political parties, and wars. Patriotism is exactly the instinct that makes people cheer frantically for the Steelers against the Packers, and armies are just Crips and Bloods with more elaborate switch-blades. Fred Reed

"I can't wait to get to a pre-politically correct time."

Andrew Breitbart

I like trees and grass as much as the next guy but can't we engage in environmental improvements without the end of the world looking over our shoulder? Kurt Harden

"Environment Yes, Hysteria No."

From A Libertarian Perspective:
Well, since the Republicans are the party of pretend small government, and the Democrats are the party of spending like a Beverly Hills heiress to an oil fortune, I see a lot to be happy about in regard to a party for actual small government that wants us to live by Elvis' words, "Do what's right for you, as long as it don't hurt no one."
Amy Alkon, The Advice Godless

Eventually I stray from every party(s) line. E.

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.

Thomas Jefferson

‘After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.’ –Aldous Huxley

"What I lack in knowledge I make up for in misinformation." From the hilarious mind of Karl B.

"If you're not a liberal at 20 you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at 40 you have no brain. If you're not a heretic at age 60 you have no courage." "Henry"

“When all possible questions of science have been answered, the problems of life remain completely untouched.” — Ludwig Wittgenstein
