More than One Should Know

The Year of Living Blindly

"Tens of millions of Americans have yet to understand that the can no longer can be kicked down the road, because we're all out of road. The pavement ends, and there's just a long drop into the abyss."

Ricains Make Bad Hostages

Have they no shame?

Taleb Bans Statistica da Puta

A mild guy: "The problem is much more complicated than it seems to the casual, mechanistic user who picked it up in graduate school. Statistics can fool you. In fact it is fooling your government right now. It can even bankrupt the system"

Who practices what he preaches: " Professor Bernanke indeed found plenty of economic explanations—what I call the narrative fallacy—with graphs, jargon, curves, the kind of facade-of-knowledge that you find in economics textbooks. (This is the kind of glib, snake-oil facade of knowledge—even more dangerous because of the mathematics—that made me, before accepting the new position in NYU's engineering department, verify that there was not a single economist in the building.)"

No One Unrequites The Ornery One

Why Janey Didn't Go To Harvard

Oh, yeah, it's Versailles...bigtime.

"And I alone lived to tell the tale"

Luck, Bitter and sweet.

Atlantis

Interesting, and coincidentally pertinent

"but at a later time there occurred portentous earthquakes and floods, and one grievous day and night befell them, when the whole body of your warriors was swallowed up by the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner was swallowed up by the sea and vanished; wherefore also the ocean at that spot has now become impassable and unsearchable, being blocked up by the shoal mud which the island created as it settled down." The Timaeus, Plato.

"Why is the World Not listening"

Because, physician, Lockerbie bought Cad-Daffy a heck of a lot of street Cred on Planet Pepe.

Kayla helps Pepe with his smuggling business

REGURGE for canonical illus. and some pithy opining from the relevant commentariat. [--roT]

The Rotting of Lot 49

" Blah Blah, nitpick, nitpick".....Pepeanic genius. This Charlie would bring a sheen to FCP. Let's bring him on board.

FCP: Our Egypt Branch is Chopped Liver

Witches Rue-mania

Well, then, it's a damn good thing for Planet Pepe and Al Gore that they are not, officially, witches.

"the country's soothsayers and fortune tellers are cursing a new bill that threatens fines or even prison if their predictions don't come true."

From GoreBal Warming to its Polar Opposite

Hmmmm...in terms of being consistent with what we've been seeing for the past few years it beats Gorebal's scams by a zillion miles.

The Gold Piss of the Spanish Bleus

The Wages of Socialism. Well, if the Spaniards really have a disease of the heart that can only be cured by Gold then they are in huge trouble.

JEWS! Just when Pepe thought it was safe to go in the water

Beware da Jewbarak, my son, da Jews dat klatch, da Klaus dat sprach. Beware da JewJewbird, and da Frumious Bundasnack,

Ah, Neokkkoners with their sharkie teeth. Clever clever Zion.

Assanging the Data

Given the whole corpus Julian has thrown out, the US government looks like a relatively mild and feeble liar, compared to the world's many other governments, and very very modestly corrupt compared to the Assangean and Pepean spheres, and murderous not at all [for example, if we were murderous Julian would be gazing forlornly right now at the cement boots carrying him down into the briny deep]. We come across as what we are, congenital saps with a relative big heart and carrying the burden of self imposed niceness.
Julian is a Pepe, pure and simple.

Didn't He Claim Granma was Christian?

What's a little lying among Versailleans?
