"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

So, why are the escalators in the Bay Area Rapid Transit system so frequently out of service? Believe me, you don’t want to know.
Seriously, though, is there any place of beauty, any jewel of human achievement, any great city, that progressives haven't messed up once they gained the upper hand?
Let's see...... Washington, DC.... Chicago..... Detroit..... New Orleans.... Los Angeles..... Seattle..... Portland...... Miami...... New York...... Minneapolis..... Saint Louis.....
BTW, Rebecca, that's a good article by Clayton Cramer.
Among many interesting observations, he points out that there seems to be a link between mental illness and intelligence. Probably explains why I am so well adjusted.
oh good grief. Almost lost my dinner!
ReplyDeleteMeh, it's San Francisco, home of Nancy Pelosi. They're used to a lot of crap.
ReplyDeleteHAW!
ReplyDeleteMiss Red: I told you!

ReplyDeleteMight be a few out there. Not many.
This is why Clayton Cramer's take on deinstituionalizion of the mentally ill is so pertinent.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone who has a loved one in this situation, as I do, "My Brother Ron" will be an eye-opener.
And it will explain a lot about why our cities have become sinkholes for the homeless.
Of course, my comment might have had more impact if I could actually spell "deinsitutionalization".
ReplyDeleteOk, you say it three times real fast!
Drat.
ReplyDeleteI just said it three times real fast, perfectly (hey, you can't prove I didn't!)

ReplyDeleteAs am I. That might also explain why liberals are so screwed up.
If they truly are as intelligent as they imagine themselves to be.
R-man: I bet there's also a link between mental illness and imagining that one is intelligent.
