quality quotes

I'm back! My computer is up and running and I will resume regular blogging this coming week. In the meantime, here are a couple of quality quotes from blog posts I've read today.

From Lew Rockwell at the LRC blog:

One example of why they hate William Blum: "America's state religion is patriotism, a phenomenon which has convinced many of the citizenry that 'treason' is morally worse than murder or rape." (Thanks to William Marina.)

From Rad Geek:

Bureaucratic rationality, n.: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may have something good in their life without permission.
