Moose on the Roof

Posted October 8, 2009, 10:50 p.m.

Yeah, I know, I haven’t been super great about regular posting this week. It’s the end of the summer, the weather is turning, and . . . well it’s a bit of a slow news week. Between the slow news week, my comparative lack of motivation, and my bit of writers’ block . . . well I just don’t really haven’t had much to write about.

This, too, shall pass.

I did want to take a couple of minutes today to acknowledge my slackerdom and, most importantly, call your attention to the most important news story of the week: The Moose on the Roof.

Enjoy!

Quotes

Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

Maya Angelou

Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin.

Holy Bible

In fact, nothing is said that has not been said before.

Terence

I am a gun. I have challenged the waves and crossed a vast, unforgiving sea. I have landed on these shores. I am held by the pilgrim, the pioneer, and the trail blazer. I have brought civilization to a barren wilderness.

R. G. Yoho

I mean that groups of men are vacuums. Great big empty nothings. They say we can’t visualize a total nothing. Hell, sit at any committee meeting.

Ayn Rand

Peace or war will not always be left to our option. . . . However moderate or unambitious we may be, we cannot count upon the moderation, or hope to extinguish the ambition, of others.

Alexander Hamilton

If the Constitution, intelligently and reasonably construed, stands in the way of desirable legislation, the blame must rest upon that instrument, and not upon the court for enforcing it according to its terms. The remedy in that situation—and the only true remedy—is to amend the Constitution.

George Sutherland

Whatever we worship, short of God, is sure to be our undoing.

Mignon McLaughlin

Wherefore, any good or evil, done to the member of a society, redounds on the whole society: thus, who hurts the hand, hurts the man.

Thomas Aquinas

Matters of fact are stubborn things. . . .

Don’t bother about being modern. Unfortunately it is the one thing that, whatever you do, you cannot avoid.

Salvador Dalí

A sword by itself does not slay; it is merely the weapon used by the slayer.

But not everyone who is failing is a victim, and not everyone at the bottom wishes to rise, although many do, and many manage it.

There are always values that some people think worthy enough that other people should have to pay for them—but not worthy enough that they should have to pay for them themselves.

Thomas Sowell
