The advertiser is the overrewarded court jester and court pander at the democratic court.
Advertising Court Democratic
Class warfare always sounds good. taking action against the rich and the powerful and making 'em pay for what they do, it always sounds good. but that's not the job of the supreme court. the supreme court standing on the side of the american people? the supreme court adjudicates the law. the supreme court determines the constitutionality of things and other things. the supreme court's gotten way out of focus, in my opinion.
Powerful People Focus
The court jester had the right to say the most outrageous things to the king. everything was permitted during carnival, even the songs that the roman legionnaires would sing, calling julius caesar "queen", alluding, in a very transparent way, to his real, or presumed, homosexual escapades.

The problem is not the claycourt. the problem is, you know, rather something to do with the conditions on center court. because i've played well on suzanne lenglen, on the other courts. but the chatrier court is really, really big, and i just haven't had enough play on it. maybe i come here next year and play a week on this court, if i can, if the french federation lets me. we'll see. i've been playing well in other tournaments, in davis cup on clay. so for me it's not the surface, it's rather maybe the court.

Whereas i used to get depressed or neurotic or dwell on things, i see my son's bright eyes and smile in the morning, and suddenly, i don't feel like i'm depressed anymore. there's nothing to be depressed about when you've got that.

It's really about taking something inherently negative, and starting with the word loser, starting with something that's negative, and changing it into something that's positive, redefining it, but doing it in a certain way, how - like i would say when i look out at the world and you see it's dark and it's just overbearing and every day is depressed, depressed, depressed. what it took was to change my perspective a little bit. not to change the world, to change my perspective.

I don't meet many people that are evil. i meet human beings who are flawed, who are mentally ill and have enormous problems, but i don't think i've ever met someone who was a totally dark energy that had no humanity or sense of love or affection for anything in their life. that's very rare.

Dark economic clouds are dissipating into an emerging blue sky of opportunity.

Colleges being nothing but grooming schools for the middle-class non-identity which usually finds its perfect expression on the outskirts of the campus in rows of well-to-do houses with lawns and television sets in each living room with everybody looking at the same thing and thinking the same thing at the same time while the japhies of the world go prowling in the wilderness to hear the voice crying in the wilderness, to find the ecstacy of the stars, to find the dark mysterious secret of the origin of faceless wonderless crapulous civilization.
Stars School Dark
Represent to yourself a dark city all burning and stinking with fire and brimstone. the damned are in the depth of hell within this woful city, where they suffer unspeakable torments in all their senses and members. consider above all the eternity of their pains, which above all things makes hell intolerable.
