Murdochs still get big bonuses despite phone hacking scandal

Chuck warns of the 'thousand year darkness' of 'socilism'

Why Chuckles, is that your KKK robes hanging up behind you?
Factcheck:

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
- This is probably the most quoted statement attributed to Burke, and an extraordinary number of variants of it exist, but all without any definite original source. These very extensively used remarks may be based on a paraphrase of some of Burke's ideas, but he is not known to have ever declared them in so succinct a manner in any of his writings. They may have been adapted from these lines of Burke's in his Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents (1770): "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."

This purported quote bears a resemblance to the narrated theme of Sergei Bondarchuk's Soviet film adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's book "War and Peace", in which the narrator declares "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing", although since the original is in Russian various translations to English are possible.

More research done on this matter is available at these two links: Burkequote & Burkequote2 — as the information at these links indicate, there are many variants of this statement, probably because there is no clearly definitive original by Burke.

Oh dear, oh dear...I am sure that some will say that this shows the complete ~~wankery~~ virtuosity at play but...I get absolutely no emotion from this music whatsoever. Still I am sure it sounds absolutely 'mahvelous' in 5:1 Surround Sound. Like having someone cum in your ear (aural sex?) no doubt...
Bonus?

REPost: Rock Magic: William S. Burroughs & Jimmy Page (Crawdaddy June 1975)

...I felt that these considerations could form the basis of my talk with Jimmy Page, which I hoped would not take the form of an interview. There is something just basically wrong about the whole interview format. Someone sticks a mike in your face and says, "Mr. Page, would you care to talk about your interest in occult practices? Would you describe yourself as a believer in this sort of thing?" Even an intelligent mike-in-the-face question tends to evoke a guarded mike-in-the-face answer. As soon as Jimmy Page walked into my loft downtown, I saw that it wasn't going to be that way.
