  1. It all becomes murkier and murkier

    bylinetimes.com/2026/07/09/par

    Somehow I don’t think they care until it becomes public knowledge, much as the MPs expenses did. The Times and The Guardian raised a lot of this, we would be left in darkness, much a mushroom like treatment, if they had not.

  4. A quotation from Garry Wills

    Politics demands a great capacity for self-deception, which rescues the politician from hypocrisy. He can normally manage to believe what he is saying for the time it takes him to say it. This gives him a certain sincerity even when he is saying opposite things to opposite people.

    Garry Wills (b. 1934) American author, journalist, historian
    Confessions of a Conservative, ch. 15 (1979)

  6. A quotation from Einstein

    The majority of the stupid is invincible and guaranteed for all time. The terror of their tyranny, however, is alleviated by their lack of consistency.
     
    [Die Majorität der Dummen ist unüberwindbar und für alle Zeiten gesichert. Der Schrecken ihrer Tyrannei ist indessen gemildert durch Mangel an Konsequenz.]

    Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-American physicist
    Essay (1953-05-23), “Aphorisms for Leo Baeck [Neun Aphorismen], No. 5, Essays Presented to Leo Baeck on the Occasion of His Eightieth Birthday (1954) [Einstein Archives 28-962]

  8. A quotation from Brennan Manning

    When I get honest, I admit I am a bundle of paradoxes. I believe and I doubt, I hope and get discouraged, I love and I hate, I feel bad about feeling good, I feel guilty about not feeling guilty. I am trusting and suspicious. I am honest and I still play games. Aristotle said I am a rational animal; I say I am an angel with an incredible capacity for beer.

    Brennan Manning (1934-2013) American author, laicized priest, theologian, speaker [Richard Francis Xavier Manning]
    The Ragamuffin Gospel, ch. 1 “Something is Radically Wrong” (1990)

  9. A quotation from Christopher Hitchens

    The essence of tyranny is not iron law. It is capricious law.

  13. A quotation from Emerson

    A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.

  14. A quotation from Emerson

    With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think to-day in words as hard as cannon-balls and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet

  15. If "extravagant" means "exceeding the limits of reason or necessity", you'd think "vagant" means "at/within limits of reason or necessity", but no, English has to screw with us. 😠

  18. A quotation from Cicero

    But you were so utterly devoid of sense, that throughout the whole of your speech you were disputing with yourself, saying things which not only were inconsistent with each other, but involved direct contradiction and opposition, so that the contest was not so much between you and me as between Antonius and Antonius.
     
    [Tam autem eras excors, ut tota in oratione tua tecum ipse pugnares, non modo non cohaerentia inter se diceres, sed maxime disiuncta atque contraria, ut non tanta mecum quanta tibi tecum esset contentio.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 2, ch. 8 / sec. 18 (2.8/2.18.7) (44-10-24 BC) [tr. King (1877)]

  19. Ah, the classic "this might be my last post... or not" saga. 🎭 The author contemplates their own #mortality with all the subtlety of a teenager posting #vaguebook status updates for attention. 🙄 But hey, at least they're consistent in their inconsistency! 😅

  29. A quotation from Cicero

    No philosopher ever yet — and there has been a great deal written upon the subject — defined a mere change of plan as vacillation.
     
    [Nemo doctus umquam (multa autem de hoc genere scripta sunt) mutationem consili inconstantiam dixit esse.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Epistulae ad Atticum [Letters to Atticus], Book 16, Letter 7, sec. 3 (16.7.3) (44 BC) [tr. Shuckburgh (1900), # 780]
