“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” … frequently attributed to Edmund Burke, although according to Wikipedia, he probably never said it.

It’s true enough though, and equally applicable to women.

You have no idea how much it depresses me that apparently even Americans living in Austria haven’t got much better to do than discuss/joke about American politics/presidential candidates.

I have already resigned myself to the idea of not watching an TV news (or indeed television in general) or reading any news websites until February or so… must I also now stop using the internet? Hopefully not, because that would be bad for my e-mail based translation business.

Seriously, these are rough times for the politically disinterested… we need some sort of safe haven to which we can retire until this whole mess has blown over (“this whole mess” being the presidential election).

Zeynep – I’m to the point where I’d probably be depressed no matter who shows up in DC in January. Anyone who secures a nomination from either party is probably already a felon… that’s the system we’ve created. To get to the top of it, you have to be pretty corrupt, so I don’t think it makes a huge difference if its a Republican or a Democrat. (And the odds of getting anyone from another party in there are like zilch, so I’m not even going to mention those guys.)

Perfect.

Including getting “chicken” and “weasel” into one sentence.

Worth recycling and repeating!
