Via The New York Times:
A handmade pair of shoes made for a United States ambassador to Czechoslovakia in the 1960s that Czech intelligence officers bugged with a listening device in the heel.
Classy. Now that’s putting bespoke on a whole other level.
If not in the interests of the state, do not act. If you cannot succeed, do not use troops. If you are not in danger, do not fight a war. A sovereign cannot launch a war because he is enraged, not can a general fight a war because he is resentful. For while an angered man may again be happy, and a resentful man again be pleased, a state that has perished cannot be restored, nor can the dead be brought back to life.

I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid. Too bad we never had a space program. The Americans were OK. But the Soviets, for all their leftist bull-crap, had IMHO the best space program there ever was. And to think they did it with Rubles. That’s quite a feat in itself. LOL
I don’t know what this is about but…it’s Vader and Fett. Nuf reasons to re-post.

I carry these everyday. What’s in your pocket?
I and the public know
What all schoolchildren learn,
Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return.
- Philip Allen: They're a weakness of mine. When I was a child, my mother would always reward me with a chocolate. It's a dreadful habit.
- Edward Wilson: The chocolates or seeking approval?
I’m gonna give you a little somethin’ you can’t take off.
