I hate journalists. There is nothing in them but tittering jeering emptiness. They have all made what Dante calls the Great Refusal. The shallowest people on the ridge of the earth.
William Butler Yates






Hear about
The jolly tar
It smelled so good
He ate
A jar

The vice-presidency isn't worth a pitcher of warm piss.

ANIMALS

Part 31 of 32
  • There are around 2,600 different species of frogs. They live on every continent except Antarctica.
  • There are more than 100 million dogs and cats in the United States. Americans spend more than 5.4 billion dollars on their pets each year.
  • There is no single cat called the panther. The name is commonly applied to the leopard, but it is also used to refer to the puma and the jaguar. A black panther is really a black leopard.
  • Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur.



  • I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.
    Michael Jordan



    PRESIDENTIAL TRIVIA
    William Taft Taft kept a cow on the White House lawn to supply him with fresh milk. He was the last president to do so.
    William Taft 1909-1913



    Born Motherless and Fatherless,
    Into this world without a sin
    Made a load roar as I entered
    And never spoke again.

    Who am I?



    Be true to your teeth, or they will be false to you.



    I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.
    Lauren Bacall



    I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people.
