H. L. Mencken Quote

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

– H.L. Mencken (1880 – 1956)

I’m fasting today in solidarity with Muslim populations around the world. (It being near the end of Ramadan and all.)

I’m already sort of hungry.. And I’ve decided that I won’t drink anything either, including water. But I am still going to brush my teeth and use mouthwash, even though I’m not sure whether that’s truly kosher or not.

Hell, we’re breaking the fast at 6, which isn’t the correct time anyways (apparently it should be 5:01 today to break) but oh well.

Catered food from new very well-received Egyptian restaurant = yum yum.
