Quote from: Mencken
As democracy is perfected, the office of President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Sadly, I suspect I despise the Trump haters even more than his supporters.  It's all so boring and predictable. 

(Poor Old Hentrich.  He doesn't really like anyone.  That explains why he doesn't vote ... or attend any church or take any "classes" or attend any "programs" or volunteer to "tutor" anyone in what people call "math" or "maths."  F_ckin' Hentrich, he's been fed up for a long time now.)   :P

Quote from: Mencken
The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.

I knew this baby was going to drop one day.

Is anyone the least bit surprised that Mencken might have a dark side?  Please!

It is my destiny to be detested most violently.

Let those who despise you rot in hell. You are not meant for these Times, but for Eternities.

Take care.
