Seven Deadly Sins Haven't Killed Me Yet

Petulant likes to call himself a confirmed cynic, but might actually see some hope in the world if there is sufficient Champagne. Comment moderation is my wont. If I'm in front of the computer, they might appear instantly. Just make it relevant.

Cioran Quote For The Day
Jul 14th
Since I read a lot of Cioran (AGAIN!), when I post I should offer a daily quote. Such actions prove popular. HA! My enjoyment is all that matters.
There exists an undeniable pleasure in knowing everything you do has no real basis, that whether or not you commit an action is a matter of indifference. The fact nonetheless remains that in our daily gestures we compromise with Vacuity – that is, we turn and turn about, and occasionally, at the same time, we take the world as real and unreal. We mingle pure truths and sordid truths and this amalgam, the thinker’s disgrace, is the living man’s revenge. – From Fractures.

SC Lt. Governor André Bauer & Foot-Washing For The Lord
Jul 13th
Politics bores me these days. However, something comes along and makes me want to praise Jeebus. When I listened to SC Lt. Governor André Bauer talk about giving the children shoes, the holy spirit bathed me in revelry. SC Lt. Governor André Bauer not only gives necessary shoes for the childrens, he also washes their feet. He provides socks too.
Enjoy this video of Bauer as he talks about his foot washing good works.
Now I understand why Huckabee likes him so much.
Update:Wonkette offers its special brand of political coverage. HA!
