Who Says . . .

. . . we don't need change in Washington . . .

(http://www.newsweek.com/saudi-arabia-911-george-w-bush-barack-obama-prince-bandar-bin-sultan-bob-297170)
". . . “I’m embarrassed that they’re not declassified,“ former Rep. Lee Hamilton (D-Ind) said at a press conference with his co-chair Tom Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey. “I assumed all along that our records would be public—all of them, everything. And when I learned that a number of documents were classified or were even redacted, I was surprised and disappointed. I am embarrassed to be associated with a work product that is secret.” . . . "

. . . then . . .

". . . Hamilton told Newsweek that he did not favor declassification of the 28 pages from the congressional investigation, just his own 9/11 Commission report. “I do not favor the declassification” of the the congressional probe’s pages, he said in a telephone interview. He added that he had "never read" that section of the other probe and “I don’t know what’s in it….No one ever came to me and said you ought to read these pages.” (He later amended that to say, “I can’t say I’ve never read them; I have no recollection of having read them.”) He evinced no interest in reading them now. “I haven't asked. I don’t think I would,” he said. “It depends on the terms of classification.". . . "

God . . .

(from http://thegoodlordabove.com/articles/details/236)
". . . God held a press conference today to demand that the United States of America remove the words ‘In God We Trust’ from their national currency. . . “It's like they’re trying to shame Me into always keeping them safe and rich,” said God. “Why are you putting all this on Me? God bless you, God bless America, in God we blah blah blah…just leave Me alone, you freaks”. . . Republicans in Congress have attacked God’s statement as being unpatriotic and blasphemous. . . God has given Congress 10 days to pass legislation removing the phrase ‘In God We Trust’ from US currency. If not the USA may be in store for several plagues. . . I will strike with a plague of . . . voting irregularities, a plague of horrible presidential candidates, and a plague of unforgivably stupid idiots! SMITE!” . . . "

Status . . .

. .. quo

(from Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann, translated by John E. Woods)
". . . But since this was not a matter of praise or censure, but simply a factual observation and determination, and since there is always some approbation in every dispassionate recognition of reality, stemming simply from the joy of recognizing it, how could such views not be linked to a multifaceted, indeed comprehensive critique of the bourgeois tradition - by which I mean values like culture, enlightenment, humanity, and dreams like the improvement of nations through significant civilization? That those who offered this critique - offered it jauntily and frequently accompanied by smug, intellectually amused laughter - were men of culture, education and science, lent the mater its especially prickly and disconcerting or slightly perverse charm . . .

Robbers . . .

(from http://www.wsj.com/articles/how-the-clintons-get-away-with-it-1431035304)
". . . I have read the Peter Schweizer book “ Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich.” . . . By the end I was certain of two things. A formal investigation, from Congress or the Justice Department, is needed to determine if Hillary Clinton’s State Department functioned, at least to some degree and in some cases, as a pay-for-play operation and whether the Clinton Foundation has functioned, at least in part, as a kind of high-class philanthropic slush fund. . . I wonder if any aspirant for the presidency except Hillary Clinton could survive such a book. I suspect she can because the Clintons are unique in the annals of American politics: They are protected from charges of corruption by their reputation for corruption. It’s not news anymore. They’re like . . . Bonnie and Clyde go on a spree, hold up a bunch of banks, it causes a sensation, there’s a trial, and they’re acquitted. They walk out of the courthouse, get in a car, rob a bank, get hauled in, complain they’re being picked on—“Why are you always following us?”—and again, not guilty. . . "

Street . . .

. . . music

(from http://www.vrijvlinder.com/blog/history-of-street-musicians/)
". . . Busking is a British term used in many areas of the English-speaking world. Buskers are also called street performers or street musicians. The place where a busker performs is called their pitch. People busk for a variety of reasons, for money, for fun, for the attention they get, to socialize or meet people, for the love of their art, or to practise their skills or try out new material in front of an audience. Some buskers only work part time, while others make a living performing full time on the streets. Some buskers do professional entertainment gigs in addition to working the streets. Some people manage only pocket change from busking, while others can amass substantial incomes. A busker’s income depends on many conditions including, the type and quality of the performance, the composition of the audience, the weather, the location and the time of day. Competition from other buskers can also play a role. Busking can be the bottom rung of the entertainment industry. . . Some of the most famous groups and superstars started their careers as buskers. Examples include Joan Baez, Edith Piaf, Roni Benise, The Blue Man Group, Pierce Brosnan, Jimmy Buffett, George Burns, Cirque du Soleil, Eric Clapton, Judy Collins, Bob Dylan, Joe Strummer, Stephane Grappelli, Bob Hope, Jewel, Steve Martin, Joni Mitchell, Jimmy Page, Dolly Parton, Penn & Teller, Gerry Rafferty, Carlos Santana, Simon and Garfunkel, Rod Stewart, Stomp, and Robin Williams. . ."
