Friday's Quote:
“The airy stretch of human life is nothing to a comet.”
John Pipkin, The Blind Astronomer’s Daughter
Quote of the Day:
“Time lost to pointless delay can never be regained. It is the most reprehensible kind of theft. Why was it that men did not grasp this simple fact? Money comes and goes and comes again, and knowledge can be acquired and forgotten and rediscovered, but time once lost is lost for good, each passing second irretrievable.”
John Pipkin, The Blind Astronomer’s Daughter
Quote of the Day:
“Beautiful things summon ruin.”
Meena Alexander, Grandmother’s Garden
Quote of the Day:
“I like the sky. You can look at it forever and never get tired of it, and when you don’t want to look at it anymore, you stop.”
Haruki Murakami, Hear the Wind Sing
Quote of the Day:
“He read the newspapers but found only the obituaries trustworthy.”
Aleksander Hemon, The Bees, Part 1
Quote of the Day:
“Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.”
Jason Matthews, Palace of Treason
And at least to some people, saying exactly what was on his mind was what some people found “refreshing” about the Orangutan, but now lots of them are upset? OK.
A gaffe is a gaffe only if it has unintended consequences. Does anyone really think that Biden will ever again sit in the same room or engage in negotiations with Putin’s regime? Biden was simply foreshadowing the Big Freeze awaiting any future Russian diplomatic efforts if the Butcher remains at the helm.
Biden won't personally remove Putin from power. Nor will he use U.S. forces to do so directly. But saying aggressive oligarchs must lose the power to invade their neighbors is perfectly reasonable.
He said out loud what everyone else is thinking. Putin does need to be removed and his people need to do it. That's the point for anyone who was listening. I guess it's a lot easier to run with looking for problems with Biden instead of focusing on what caused him to say that.

Quote of the Day:
“Envy is the religion of the mediocre. It comforts them, it soothes their worries, and finally it rots their souls, allowing them to justify their meanness and their greed until they believe these to be virtues.”
Carlos Ruiz Zafron – The Angel’s Game
Tony Stark
