-->''"Okay, look. The thing you need to understand about [[CreatorDonaldTrump Trump]], in order to make the last few weeks and the next several months make any sense at all, is that he has been surrounded for pretty much his entire adult life by people whose job it is to tell him everything he says, thinks and does is brilliant."''

->“Smokey” Joe Barton is the Republican Representative from Texas's sixth district...Barton’s intertwinement with the oil industry is so intense that his declarations in relation to the BP oil spill (that is, his ''[[SycophanticServant apology]]'' to BP) had to be denied even by BP’s own [[EvenEvilHasStandards questionably competent]] Tony Hayward.

->If you quietly accept and go along no matter what your feelings are, ultimately [[BecomingTheMask you internalize what you're saying]], because it's too hard to believe one thing and say another. I can see it very strikingly in my own background. Go to any elite university and you are usually speaking to very disciplined people, people who have been selected for obedience. And that makes sense. If you've resisted the temptation to tell the teacher, 'You're an asshole,' which maybe he or she is, and if you don't say, 'That's idiotic,' when you get a stupid assignment, you will gradually pass through the required filters. You will end up at a good college and eventually with a good job.

->You know what stinks? [[Wrestling/JerryLawler Lawler]] used to be really cool...Now? Now he’s the commentary equivalent of the radio “hole” that just laughs at everything that’s said, even when it’s not funny and maybe not even meant to be.\\\

->There’s a huge clue in the book ''The Man who Heard Voices'', which is devoted to the production of ''Film/LadyInTheWater''. It’s clear that the author is wildly in love with Night, and makes no attempt to hide it. The way he plays with his buttons at the dinner table, the ease of those three-pointers he sinks at weekly basketball games with his buddies, and even his unusually long earlobes; the author can’t shut up about how bathed in ethereal light M. Night is, even when he’s squatting down and birthing some plops.

->Dr. Karasu acknowledged that he was not immune from taking satisfaction in the success and fame of his patients. 'Wealthy people bring about a degree of awe, even in their therapists sometimes...It’s King Ludwig Syndrome. In the 19th century, Bernhard von Gudden was the psychiatrist for the Bavarian royal family and began to treat King Ludwig II, [[TheCaligula who was psychotic.]] In the end, the two of them drowned in a boat. So I teach my people who are treating wealthy people, ‘Don’t get in your patients’ boats.’'

->Theodore Beale [[TheFundamentalist cannot be controlled]]. That’s what being a rabid dog means, really, and why there’s a generally agreed upon course of treatment for one. But I’d like to point to a telling moment in Correia’s apologia, in which he said, “Look at it like this. I’m Churchill. Brad [Torgersen] is FDR. We wound up on the same side as Stalin.”...One does not simply “wind up” allied to Josef Stalin. This is a process that requires some effort. It is a process during which one is afforded many opportunities to stop and say “wait a moment, [[AnalogyBackfire I seem to be allying with Josef Stalin]], maybe I should reconsider my life choices.”\\\
And I think it’s fair to ask why Larry Correia is disinterested in taking any of these opportunities. Similarly, I think it’s fair to point out the relatively low bar that Correia is seeking to clear when proclaiming “I Am Not Vox Day.” True, he is not the Taliban-fetishizing racist who proclaims himself the voice of god. He’s just the guy standing next to him and riding his coattails.

->Human clothing donation bin Creator/JohnnyDepp has made some incredibly shitty movies lately. For every ''[[Film/WhatsEatingGilbertGrape What's Eating Gilbert Grape]]'', there’s 8 ''Film/DarkShadows''. His latest crap sandwich of course is ''Film/{{Mortdecai}}'', a movie that appears to be a 2-hour long moustache commercial starring Johnny Depp doing a lazy impression of Steve Martin’s Inspector Clouseau. Well, it appears ''Mortdecai'' might be the poop that broke the camel’s diaper ([[UnusualEuphemism whatever the hell that means]])...Johnny has been with Tracey and United Talent Agency since he was on ''Series/TwentyOneJumpStreet'' (that’s the definition of a ride or die bitch, in my option), but he’s allegedly “devastated” over his recent string of flops at the box office and thinks it might be time to move on before he makes another ''Film/{{Transcendence}}'' or ''Film/TheTourist''. And according to a source, he’s approached [[Creator/ScarlettJohansson ScarJo]] and [[Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio Leo DiCaprio’s]] manager Rick Yorn. You know, because a dude who convinces you to do ''Film/WeBoughtAZoo'' or ''Film/TheGreatGatsby'' would never steer you wrong...Here’s Johnny at a photocall for ''Mortdecai'' in Tokyo today looking like [[CreatorBacklash he’d rather be at a soap and shower convention than still be promoting this shit]].
