“Life itself, however, flows and is sequential and punishes those who try to compartmentalize it. Thus if, for any reason whatsoever, moral standards are conspicuously and unprecedentedly breached in one area of society, such as the political, it will follow as the night the day that those standards will start collapsing all down the line-in sports, entertainment, education, the armed forces, business and government.” IfsTryingReasonGovernmentPoliticalNightForceSportsLinesMoralMoralityStandardsAreasFlowEntertainmentArmed ForcesSports Entertainment Author:Margaret Halsey
“There are complaints that it's hard to remember what you can say and what you can't, which words are 'in' for certain groups and which words are not. And yet we started out learning that the 'kitty' on the sidewalk was actually a squirrel, we learned to differentiate between fire trucks and school buses, and many people today know the difference between linguini, fettucini, and rotini. The same people who say they can't remember the 'right' terms in referring to people are often whizzes at remembering which professional sports teams have moved where and are now called what.” PeopleKnowsHardTodaySchoolRememberPoliticalCertainSportsTermDifferencesFireGroupsTeamMovedBusComplaintsTruckPolitical CorrectnessReferringSidewalkSquirrelsDifferentiateSports TeamKittiesProfessional SportsSchool Bus Author:Rosalie Maggio
“Because of the oil-and-water relationship governments have cultivated between ethics and political economy, speaking in plain terms - spelling it out as it is - as become foreign to the public. So here goes: When government sports a surplus, this implies that the political pickpockets have stolen more funds than they can possibly dream of spending. The property is not theirs to keep! Conversely, when deficits are reported, this means that the kleptomaniacs have not been able to steal sufficient funds to cover their profligacy.” MeanDreamGovernmentAblePoliticalPoliticsSportsTermWaterEconomyEthicsPropertySpendingOilStealingSufficientFundStolenDeficitSpellingSurplusPolitical EconomyOil And Water Author:Ilana Mercer
