LINES OF THE DAY

". . . But the past does not exist independently from the present. Indeed, the past is only past because there is a present, just as I can point to something over there only because I am here. But nothing is inherently over there or here. In that sense, the past has no content. The past -- or more accurately, pastness -- is a position. Thus, in no way can we identify the past as past." p. 15

". . . But we may want to keep in mind that deeds and words are not as distinguishable as often we presume. History does not belong only to its narrators, professional or amateur. While some of us debate what history is or was, others take it into their own hands." p. 153

Mr. Christie - He Who Closes the Bridges

Listening to his O Poor Me! speech of how in no way could this thug-stupid action have anything whatsoever to do with him, O No!





Waiting for him to blow -- his temper began to unravel as soon as the Q&A with the journalists began.  His tap-dancing around the obvious, that HE should resign, since, if HE had nothing to do with this despicable act (that includes a possible consequence of a woman dying because the gridlock delayed aid -- investigation ongoing, from what has been reported), HIS judgment then is so bad for hiring such people -- it's quite clumsy.  HE NEEDS TO RESIGN.
