World’s Greatest [Fake] Laptop

Posted November 29, 2007, 2:55 p.m.

This is, without a doubt, the best two-dimensional fake laptop in the world (as seen at a local Staples store in Logitech’s display area). Somebody gets paid the big-bucks to build fake laptops like this, and I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Quotes

The fabric of American empire ought to rest on the solid basis of THE CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE. The streams of national power ought to flow immediately from that pure, original fountain of all legitimate authority.

Alexander Hamilton

The destruction . . . [and] moral erosion [of war] will be so great, that it is idle to think you’ll find liberty, walking serenely among the corpses of the dead and the agonies of the dying

Norman Thomas

Pride grows in the human heart like lard on a pig.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.

Will Rogers

The tragedy in all of this is the simple fact that the average tax-paying American was not given an honest and genuine choice. The voter finds himself enduring one party long enough to witness a whole series of travesties and then switches to the other party thinking he will get a substantial reversal of policy. But he doesn’t.

W. Cleon Skousen

But then I found an astonishing thing. I found that the very people who said that mankind was one church from Plato to Emerson were the very people who said that morality had changed altogether, and that what was right in one age was wrong in another.

G. K. Chesterton

Thus while walking along the road one needs not to be thinking of the end at every step.

Thomas Aquinas

Better a thousand times err on the side of over-readiness to fight, than to err on the side of tame submission to injury, or cold-blooded indifference to the misery of the oppressed.

Teddy Roosevelt

If you can tell anyone about it, it’s not the worst thing you ever did.

Mignon McLaughlin

There is nothing better or more necessary than love.

John of the Cross

It has long been thought to be a well founded position, that the purse and sword ought not to be placed in the same hands in a free government.

Unknown

The basic requirement for the understanding of the politics of change is to recognize the world as it is. We must work with it on its terms if we are to change it to the kind of world we would like it to be.

Saul Alinsky

One’s breeding shows itself nowhere more than in his religion.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.

Winston Churchill

Knowing ignorance is strength. Ignoring knowledge is sickness.

Lao Tsu

Anything that doesn’t take years of your life and drive you to suicide hardly seems worth doing.

Cormac McCarthy

Miracles are not necessarily a cure for unbelief. If the will is perverse, all the evidence in the world would not convince, not even a resurrection from the dead

Fulton Sheen

Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness. All can know good as good only because there is evil.

Lao Tsu

To say that we should remain in a false religion because we were born in it is as untrue as to say we should not heal our bodily diseases because we were born with them.

U.S. Conf. of Catholic Bishops

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
