On This Thanksgiving, Be Grateful For George Soros

Because George Soros is certainly grateful for George Soros.

I was reading Tammy Bruce's new book, The New American Revolution, and came across this passage. She's writing about Malignant Narcissism (caps hers), and brings up George Soros as one afflicted with the condition.

Pretty strong words, I thought, and didn't really expect her to back it up. But his own words do indicate narcissism bordering on full-on megalomania:

"If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I felt I had to control, otherwise they might get me into trouble," [Soros] once wrote. When asked to elaborate on that passage by The Independent, Soros said, "It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of God, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out."

Emphasis mine.

So, as you smother your turkey in gravy today, give a little prayer to George Soros, who was courageous enough to take his feeling of being "some kind of God, the creator of everything" and dare to "live it out." It is to Him we should all pray.

Some even say Soros created the turkey in His image. Flesh of my flesh and all that.

Mmmmm... Soros-flesh.

Man, if this ass-clown ends up buying my baseball team, I may want to shoot someone, or set someone on fire.

Grrr.

Oh how it must confuse him when his best laid plans result in failure. Heh.

Happy Thanksgiving, Ace!

I'm really grateful to George Soros. If it wasn't for his attempts to unite the looney left into some kind of political force many of the lukewarm Bush voters might have stayed home on election day. I know several people who normally don't vote that voted specifically because they didn't want people like Soros running the country.

If it weren't for Soros' millions, Democratic candidates would feel the need to court hundreds of thousands of smaller donors, which would steer them back to where the votes are.

Instead, the Party's most hysterical anti-american activists are lavishly funded. Soros' money pays for their megaphone. He has made their voice the voice of the Party, which ultimately means that they are the Party.

Completely O/T, but what is it with these blasted 'inspirational stories' before the football game? Just start the game!

Okay, to keep this slightly on topic, George Soros is a moron.

Speaking of baseball, ego-maniacs, and liberals:
Bill Richardson -- "After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter ... I came to the conclusion that I was not drafted by the A's,"


Or, my version -
After being confronted with the fact that I had lied all these years and after realizing the matter would not go away...I'll admit the truth now so it doesn't follow me into the '08 election.

The higher they raise themselves, the further and harder is the fall. You don't believe that, ask T.O.

Pretty good Dallas/Denver game.

A lot of flags, though.

I was reading Tammy Bruce's new book . . .

Admit it, Ace. You thought there would be pictures. lol!

Narcissism yes, but it's also a potentially a symptom of bipolar disorder-- which is hardly rare among the rich and famous.

Yup. They would have won that one with his field goal.

Soros spelled backwards is still Soros.

Whereas Jesus Christ spelled backward is only Brian Doyle Murray.

This is going down in history as the decade of the super-villain. Before it's over we'll see billionaires committing flambouant themed crime sprees, like they just steal rare birds, or they kill people with dairy products.

bill clinton concluded, after much research and a trip to moscow, that he was not drafted into the US military.

Speaking of giving thanks, my old pal Christopher Hitchens explains the greatness of our national holiday.

Two reactions usually follow after I read Hitchens.
Admiration for his talent as a scribe, and the distinct feeling that I (personally and as an American) have been shit upon by a smart-ass.

You'll read in his text how Hitch holds in high regard --most of it, anyway -- the Thanksgiving holiday. You will also notice his contempt for Americans and his fellow humans in general. Maybe it's just me, but this guy is a first-class supercilious jerk. He makes Charles Emerson Winchester look like nice guy.

Contrast Hitchens to William F Buckley Jr. Both men are of superior intellect, but I never feel beneath or insulted by Buckley. I always suspected Buckley and this average bloke from Waltham, Massachusetts could enjoy a cigar, a beer, and a football game together. Not so with Hitchens.

For someone who says he appreciates the Thanksgiving holiday, Hitchens doesn't appreciate the best things about it that make it special and wishes to discard the parts that most Americans like best about the day. Oh well, fuck him.

On the bright side, I learnt me a new word: syllabub.

Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show.
She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.

Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit.
Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?)
I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.
