Survival in the city

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

He should wait for at least eight days from now. Then jumping into fountains will be socially acceptable.

What's 8 days from now?  Debt ceiling Armageddon?  The  R.s will cave, count on it.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

In Russia it's also Airborne Infantry Day. Veterans of Airborne Infantry units will get drunk, bathe in city fountains, and beat up riot police for fun. And if you are lucky, they'll do it in that order.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

LOL!!! thanks!!!
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
