Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
And yet I wish but for the thing I have:
/ My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
/ My love as deep; the more I give to thee, /
The more I have, for both are infinite.

Ron Paul: The cure to my political nihilism and pessimism
The greatness of this nation is surpassed only by the unworthiness of its politicians and the stupidity and astonishingly low expectations of their respective herds. The only exception I have seen to this is Ron Paul. This is the man America needs.
* He has never voted to raise taxes.
* He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
* He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
* He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
* He has never taken a government-paid junket.
* He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
* He voted against the Patriot Act.
*He voted against regulating the Internet.
*He voted against the Iraq war.
* He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
* He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
* Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

Portrayed by the great Lance Henrikson, Frank Black is man endowed with the exceptional ability to see evil and enter into the mind of the criminal.
He is my hero.
Let us not forget about his temptress, the evil and seductive Lucy Butler, portrayed brilliantly by Sarah-Jane Redmond. Lucy Butler is the figure of the base sum of all evil who tempts the heart of man with a maternal tenderness, an enthralling beauty and a haunting sublimity.
She said "Every living creature on earth dies alone".
"This famous linguist once said that of all the phrases in the English language, of all the endless combinations of words in all of history, that Cellar Door is the most beautiful." (Karen Pommeroy to Donnie Darko)
I haven't lived. I've died a few times.

He is plotting world domination, and he may just succeed.
"Come and play / Everything's A-okay / Friendly neighbors there / That's where we meet"
