*******************************
FROM MY NOTEBOOKS
********************************
Millionaires have feelings?
I didn’t know that.
But I guess it makes sense.
*
I don’t believe in literature
but I do believe in the power of words
to create magic.
*
No one questions the credibility
of sermonizers and speechifiers;
and as far as I know
no one has ever criticized a boss or bishop
for repeating himself.
On the contrary, they are amply rewarded
to do so.

infidel, imam, fatwa, jihad.: 4 words that are hateful, repellent, disgusting, and worthy only of bloodthirsty barbarians regardless of race, color, and creed!

NOTES / COMMENTS
*****************************
Trump reflects American values
more faithfully than the double-talk
of the competition.
*
In order to work,
propaganda must flatter.
*
Behind every story
there are a thousand other stories.
*
My greatest liability:
I refuse to be a dupe.
*
If only lovers learned to keep their distance!
If only He had planted two gardens.
*
An honest politician would have to spend
so much time cleaning up the mess that
it would paralyze the nation.

NOTES / COMMENTS
****************************
There are two kinds of people:
carnivores and vegetarians, sometimes also identified as
Turks and Armenians.
*
As for identifying people by race, color creed or DNA:
such divisions are no longer valid or even practical
because of the high rate of mongrelization.
*
The world has become a nightmare
for racists, nationalists and all dividers in general.
*
The old Turkish saying (probably of Armenian origin)
is as valid today as it was when it was first spoken:
“Don’t stir things too much,
you may expose the crap.”
