Except somehow in this case the Cliff Notes are even more longwinded than the original.

"Who went, literally, insane, probably because of teh syphilis, except nobody is sure when he ever might have gotten fucked".

(I've been reading a kind of Nietzsche for Dummies recently, because I never really read any of his stuff. The guy had a good sense of sarcasm -- he might have made an interesting Wonkette commenter. Philosophy, meh. Attitude towards women, gah).

Going straight to the source, rather than reading the terrible Cliff Notes version.

At least when our side wins, the try to govern for at least a year before going into 100% campaign mode again. The notion that politics is a means to achieve policy has simply never, ever occurred to most modern Republicans, who have only believed the opposite.

Totally is the St. George's Cross. I'ma guess there weren't any Republic-of-Georgians, so it just brings to mind how the National Front in England use it as kind of an old world Stars and Bars.

Wow. How the hell did you spot that? Stepping slowly through, I think you're right. You can see the whole flag very briefly around 6:59. Possibly there's an EDL connection. The <a href="http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/uk\/2010\/oct\/10\/english-defence-league-tea-party" target="_blank">Observer</a> claimed in 2010 that Pam Geller had been playing matchmaker between the EDL and the Tea Party.

Whether this matters is another question. As far as I can tell the WSU exists only at Towson; does anybody know how many members they have? Admittedly, between CPAC and this they've been getting publicity.
