History's Greatest Monsters

"Theo, my son, let me tell you the facts of life: money and power trump everything." - Dr. Huxtable tells Theo how to pay off a woman with Monopoly Money

- Stalin, New Years Eve, 1935

The Next Republic



“Is there anything more moving than the sight of global elites wielding their power as one? They are like beautiful animals...” - Ross Douthat

"Today we can truly say: France exists." - CNN

“Today we are, reluctantly, all French.” - David Cameron

“I am Chelsea Manning.” - Barack Obama

“Je suis Charlie.” - de Gaulle

“Moral horror always masks hypocrisy. Hatred, at least, is honest.”
- Marine Le Pen

"Let's be real: we all totally and justifiably blame Islam for this."
- George Packer to Bill Maher, Hot Tub Sex Machine

"Next they will come for my hair!" - BHL

“Let’s not lose sight of what’s really important in the Hebdo affair: critiquing the social media presence of white liberals in America.”
- Left Command

“Before you dismiss these cartoons as merely inflammatory, you should understand their place in the incredibly rich and nuanced tradition of French racism.” - Charles Murray

- Voltaire

“The concept of freedom of speech is particularly unsuited to cartoons since these are beneath speech: literate grunting, drool-patterns smeared onto the page, moans of malice or lust which cannot escape the self-indulgent juvenility of their origin. Cartoons are a plant-medium for plant-people, and enlightenment would be to ban them all.” - Plato, Reddit.fr

“What greater ecstasy could there be than marching side by side with the police?” - Bill deBlasio

- Bill Bratton sits PO Daniel Pantaleo down for the talk

“We love the Jews for the same reason we used to hate them: to prove how French we are.” - Manuel Valls

"I look out and I see a nation of people with one face this day. In the face of this outrage we will come out as one. Fuck you Piketty, not taking the Legion. Our gallant men of arms killed the dogs and we show this fine tradition of it forever, and that is Europe."
- François Hollande

"Why do we have twenty fingers and toes? Because there are 24 hours in a day and your family eats four of them." - Sarkozy at home

Sky Mall, New Year 2015
(A Story Book About Your Child1)


A welcome alternative to napping on
The cold floor or hard cement patio:2
The Giant Display Atomic Wall Clock.3
Breath operates up to 24 hours
In the low mode,4 standing safely on the floor.5
It hauls you out of bed every morning6
Without the requisite frostbite,7 makes any
Home feel like it has been transported.8
Large animals that cause false signals9 turn
Good intentions into lifelong habits.10
Hold it firmly in place without scratching,11
Emit the finest mist,12 roll effortlessly
To the curb13 your outdoor breathing experience.14

You know your baby looks good enough to eat,15
Will claw his way out of your garden plot.16
Let your little one burn some rubber17
Dreams of bones circling around his head.18
Project your life:19 the next best thing to the womb20
Will make your neighbors and passersby look twice.21
Children quickly learn the virtues of life22
Without soldering, wiring or programming.23
YEEEE-HA! Your kids will wrangle like true cowboys24
There's no cord to hide,25 no tools required26
Be a hero even when you sleep—27
Brilliant displays of iron nerve28
Illuminate the night with a personal touch.29

NEW! Women need their own signs too,30 anything
With a void becomes a speaker.31 What's your passion?32
Get all your knives sharpened,33 cut
The cord this winter.34 Your hometown's in pieces!35
Look who the trees are rooting for!36 Consider
A faux tree33 that repeats anything said
To it back in a cartoonish voice.37 In all
My years as a private detective, I've never
Seen anything like this,38 the faceless watch,39
Reactive surfaces38 (these overworked
Garden friends,21 made with a tender verse40)
Make a grand statement in a snap.41
Who needs a doorbell, or even a knocker?42
Who needs a doorbell
                                    or even a knocker?

   - Tojir Tangriev, lyric interlude, 28th Congress of the CPSU
