Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

That's Mark Zuckerberg tripping over the hypocrisy of bitching about Cambridge Analytica using Facebook Data to help Trump, when Facebook executives GAVE Facebook Data to the Obama campaign.

Plus, he has been a vocal proponent of online privacy, and then he hasn't enabled his platform to be configurable by its users to enhance privacy.

"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II.

Thank you. I feel I've been duped even more.

I heard of the Cambridge/Facebook story so I just ignore the following Facebook data scandal stories thinking I've already heard it. I think they ran the Cambridge/Facebook as a cover story ahead of the real scandal.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I like Ramirez’s work, a lot, but he makes a common mistake. Republicans in Congress who aided and abetted this monstrosity “Ominous” Bill, are not ‘Rhinos,’ they’re RINOS. It’s an acronym that means Republican In Name Only. RINO

The cartoon still works if you properly show it as an acronym.

I doubt that was a mistake.
