  1. MEPHISTOPHELES

    Since Thou, O Lord, deign’st to approach again
    And ask us how we do, in manner kindest,
    And heretofore to meet myself wert fain,
    Among Thy menials, now, my face Thou findest.
    Pardon, this troop I cannot follow after
    With lofty speech, though by them scorned and spurned:
    My pathos certainly would move Thy laughter,
    If Thou hadst not all merriment unlearned.
    Of suns and worlds I’ve nothing to be quoted;
    How men torment themselves, is all I’ve noted.
    The little god o’ the world sticks to the same old way,
    And is as whimsical as on Creation’s day.
    Life somewhat better might content him,
    But for the gleam of heavenly light which Thou hast lent
    him:
    He calls it Reason—thence his power’s increased,
    To be far beastlier than any beast.
    Saving Thy Gracious Presence, he to me
    A long-legged grasshopper appears to be,
    That springing flies, and flying springs,
    And in the grass the same old ditty sings.
    Would he still lay among the grass he grows in!
    Each bit of dung he seeks, to stick his nose in.

    THE LORD

    Hast thou, then, nothing more to mention?
    Com’st ever, thus, with ill intention?
    Find’st nothing right on earth, eternally?

    MEPHISTOPHELES

    No, Lord! I find things, there, still bad as they can be.
    Man’s misery even to pity moves my nature;
    I’ve scarce the heart to plague the wretched creature.

  2. If she was a smart as the legend claims her to be she would have retired in Barry’s 6th year but hubris led her to believe that she afford the opportunity to Hillary.

    It is her fault that she stayed too long. Period!

  3. No proof but I typed almost the same thing on the “Ginsburg is Gone” post..and erased it. “Wonder how many Demwit states Judge Busey will be voting in by mail.” Oh, well, BFH created a great meme about the old evil socialist – right to the point.

  4. Just read tonight that Murkowski said she would not vote on nominee confirmation. The piece speculates that we’ll probably be hearing the same from Romney. Is that the ball game? Sounds like McConnell is ready to roll on confirmations. Can he keep the Senate in line?

    “See how awesome everything is when you stop giving fucks?”

    Yep. Ok, yep. You are correct.
    It is awesome. Yep, it’s awesome beyond belief.
    Yep. Yessiree.
    Yessiree Bob.
