The vision of fifties America as a sunny, prosperous world full of stable values and families has no truck with Billy Wilder. Having spent some time in the Weimar Berlin of his youth as a paid dancer for women, he got used to being used and rented out, if anyone can ever get used to it. He packed his cynicism with him when he came to America and easily fit into Hollywood. To Wilder, everyone has a price, and their most noble values and visions are up for grabs. (more…)

Zatímco si pohledný řecký mladík Narkissos (Narcissus) zálibně prohlížel svůj vlastní odraz na hladině lesní tůňky, nabízel by skvělý terč pro černošskou „vybíjenou“ (Knock-Out game). Nějaký utlačovaný snědý mladík by k němu snadno mohl připlížit a názorně ukázat sílu spravedlivostí sevřené černé pěsti. (more…)

Most readers have been barraged with this message since November. But now a new message is emitting from our noble elites: “We actually did rig the election, and it was to protect democracy.” (more…)

This is especially so for the ones with the most panache (such as it is), like libertarians and Objectivists.
