“Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal...”
Abraham Lincoln
“First of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance...”
Franklin D Roosevelt
“I will, in the name of humanity, which is outraged, in the name of liberty, which is fettered, in the name of the Constitution and the Bible, which are disregarded and trampled upon, dare to call in question and to denounce, with all the emphasis I can command, everything that serves to perpetuate slavery...”
Frederick Douglas
"If [the US] is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea..."
Donald Trump
...some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em" And, as an addendum to Mr Shakespeare, "Some just seem to defecate every time they open their mouths"
-
The man is beyond satire. A horrific combination of the ludicrous and the terrifying.
-
Words fail me. So...

Tarks, you are quite brilliant, with splashes of pure genius...now bugger off, you're making me look bad ["Too late" cried his occasionally unkind but very honest wife]. "That's what you get for eating your crayons when you were a kid" she added, somewhat unnecessarily...[We were poor, I was hungry]..."Hardly explains the crayon the hospital had to remove from your nose though, does it?"

Steve Bright is among the greatest cartoonists around. The fact that we have been friends for almost 40 years is not an influencing factor. He annoys the hell out of me with the ease he creates his masterpieces. I hate him.
-
Roger hates me as well. Damn my brilliance!
-
Meh - he only dislikes you a bit, Mincey. Don't let it go to your head.
Red, your opening post was quite brilliant in itself, and highlighted beautifully the gulf in tact, intelligence, empathy, decency, but perhaps above all, class, between the current POTUS and his three distant predecessors, whose eloquence and grace shone through those quotes in sharp contrast to the orange turd's puerile macho posturing.

I should add that this morning I had coffee with Roger at Kettle Towers, and we both agreed that perhaps the most salient effect of the Trump Presidency is that we'd even have George W. Bush back in his place. 'Nuff said!
-
My wallet's gone!

;D ;D ;D

...the most salient effect of the Trump Presidency is that we'd even have George W. Bush back in his place. 'Nuff said!
Scarily true, even Reagan seems almost lucid in comparison...
My wallet's gone!
Relax, you probably just misplaced it the last time you nearly opened it, try retracing your steps from that day, although not everyone can remember that much detail from 2006...
-
My wallet's gone!
Does he have the combination?
-
I'm sorry to tell you but these jokes about my parsimony are so wide of the mark that they miss the target altogether. I am---and always have been---stupid with money. Ask my wife, kids or sister. I'm a financial idiot.
-
I'm a financial idiot.
I think 'financial' is superfluous.
-
No, he's right. There was bugger all left in the wallet. >:(
-
Well, that's just low and underhand, tricking honest wallet thieves into stealing empty wallets.

I have an investment you might be interested in...left-handed flower pots...
Addendum. I realised that the above sentence could be construed as misleading, and obviously that would be bad when seeking potential investors. When I say left-handed flower pots I obviously don't mean flower pots that are...well...left-handed, that would be silly. Flower pots don't have hands, so the need to designate one as the left-hand, and presumably the other as the right-hand is superfluous. Indeed, were one to imagine a flower pot with hands, why stop at two? There could be an upper-left-hand and a lower-left-hand, or even a back-hand and a front-hand. Clearly what I was trying to communicate was flower pots that left-handed people can use, an area sadly neglected so far in the world of horticulture.
Hopefully that's cleared any confusion...
-
I did wonder. I'll take three please.
-
Oh, bugger, I forgot. Do you have any right-handed ones?
-
Oh, bugger, I forgot. Do you have any right-handed ones?
Obviously the left-handed flower pots are still in the design stage, hence the need to find suitable [financial idiots] investors to further the project. We do have however a number of right-handed sample flower pots, used in the early design stages of the left-handed flower pots. These are now surplus to requirements, due to the nature of the design project some have become ever so slightly bi-lingual, but we're not here to judge. I'd be happy to reserve several for you, subject to their agreement of course.
A glossy five hundred [and one] page investment brochure is also available for a modest investment of £73.02 - great value for the photographs alone, showing preliminary design models of left-handed flower pots in a variety of poses and also featuring a number of horticultural backgrounds.

Sold! I'll take a dozen R-H pots, and two brochures; if it's that good. I'll want to read it twice.
-
Oh, and I'd like to invest in the L-H pots. You'll need my date of birth - it's 22/09/2017.

The read more than once brochures are slightly more expensive, given we have to insert meaningless drivel about fast cars, football, the latest gadgets etc., both brochures will be posted immediately on receipt of your credit card details, full address, birth certificate, passport [which will be returned], and confirmation that you have no medical conditions which may be affected or worsened by viewing images of left-handed flower pots posing as nature, and gardening, intended.
Oh, and I'd like to invest in the L-H pots. You'll need my date of birth - it's 22/09/2017.
Ah, the well seasoned investor, our favourite, right next to gullible Americans [actually the gullible may be superfluous]. Your investment will be secured on receipt of the deeds to any property, objects of value and bank records of anyone you know who may or may not also be interested in this investment. Show you care, do the right thing, and help others benefit from the joy of bringing Left-handed flower pots to the forefront of human technological discovery.
Please be aware, the value of your investment can rise or fall or even possibly disappear. E&OE
