Do I contradict myself? Well then, a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time.

I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy, and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind. Armistice Day has become Veterans' Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans' Day is not. So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things. -Kurt Vonnegut

The *whole point* of Lord of the Rings is that traditional heroes are of the past and that the heroes of the modern era are little people, women, and a corrupted underground fish creature. Imagine reading* Lord of the Rings and getting it this wrong.

From June Lockhart’s NY Times obit.

RIP to a real one.
A political liberal, Ms. Lockhart had no illusions about the good old days. In a 2004 interview with The New York Times, she recalled a connection "Lassie" script writers had with McCarthy-era blacklisting. "When people come up to me and say, 'Well, sure wish we had wonderful American shows like that the way we used to in the '50s; I say: 'Let me tell you who wrote those scripts' Yes, they were good Americans, and they were in jail."

Art theft is bad. But if you're going to do it, stealing the French Crown jewels from the Louvre in broad daylight is the way to go.

Why were Optimus and Bumblebee so envious of Starscream and Blitzwing? Because the theme song was all about robots in d'skies.
