Monday Short Cuts
The Gipper: “The system has not failed. Some human beings have failed the system.”
The Gipper: “There is no question that we have failed to live up to the dreams of the Founding Fathers many times and in many places. Sometimes we do better than others. But all in all, the one thing we must be on guard against is thinking that because of this, the system has failed. The system has not failed. Some human beings have failed the system.”
Food for thought: “We take a young man and kick his father out of his life, send him to school where he has mostly women teachers, barrage him with negative messages about masculinity, then turn him loose at college where we treat him like a guilty-until-proven-innocent rapist, and after all that, we blame ‘masculinity’ when he goes off the rails despite the fact that he spent a lifetime bathed in femininity. Unsurprisingly, the more women try to change masculinity, the more negative and toxic it actually becomes.” —John Hawkins
Braying jackass: “I’m going to say this. F–k Trump! It’s no longer ‘down with Trump.’ It’s f–k Trump!” —Robert De Niro
Braying jackass II: “I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point, and by the way, I’m hoping for it. I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy. So please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people, but it’s either root for a recession or you lose your democracy.” —Bill Maher
“We all belong,” eh? “We are all sacred and we all belong. Let’s just bake a cake for everyone who wants a cake to be baked.” —Andrew Garfield
And last… “I have decided some changes need to be made to our Constitution. Like dusting it off and putting it back to use like it was intended.” —Ryan Fournier
