"I like big butts and I cannot lie/
You otha brothas can't deny/
/that when those Daisy Dukes ride up high/
You get sprung-- /
m-m-m-me so horney...
Baby got back, forsooth."

She had a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
-- Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ode to Beauty

With so much drama in the LBC
It’s kind of hard being Snoop D O double G
But I, some how some way
Keep coming up with funky ass shit like every single day
May I, kick a little somethin for the G’s
And make a few ends as I breeze through
Two in the mornin and the party still popin cause my mama aint home
I got bitches in the living room gettin it on
And they aint leavin till six in the mornin
So what you wanna do, shit
I got a pocket rull of rubbers and my homeboys do too
So turn off the lights and close the doors
But for what, we don’t love them hoes
Yeah, so we gon smoke an ounce to this
G’s up, hoes down, while you muthafuckas bounce to this

Rollin down the street, smokin indo, sippin on gin and juice
Laid back, with my mind on my money and my money on my mind
Rollin down the street, smokin indo, sippin on gin and juice
Laid back, with my mind on my money and my money on my mind

-- Thomas Livingston Seagull

It's OPP, time other people's what you get it
There's no room for relationship there's just room to hit it
How many brothers out there know just what I'm gettin' at
Who thinks it's wrong 'cos I'm splittin' and co-hittin' at
Well if you do, that's OPP and you're not down with it
But if you don't, here's your membership

You down with OPP
(Yeah you know me)
You down with OPP
(Yeah you know me)
You down with OPP
(Yeah you know me)
Who down with OPP?
(Every last homie)

-- The Horse-Whisperer

Well let's bungle
in the jungle
Well that's all right with me
I'm a tiger when I want love
I'm a snake if we disagree

--Rudyard Kipling, Kim

"[M]y disagreement with the peace-at-any-price men, the ultrapacifists, is not in the least because they favor peace. I object to them, first, because they have proved themselves futile and impotent in working for peace, and second, because they commit what is not merely the capital error but the crime against morality of failing to uphold righteousness as the all-important end toward which we should strive ... I have as little sympathy for them as they have for the men who deify mere brutal force, who insist that power justifies wrongdoing, and who declare that there is no such thing as international morality. But the ultra-pacifists really play into the hands of these men. To condemn equally might which backs right and might which overthrows right is to render positive service to wrong-doers ... To denounce the nation that wages war in self-defense, or from a generous desire to relieve the oppressed, in the same terms in which we denounce war waged in a spirit of greed or wanton folly stands on a par with denouncing equally a murderer and the policeman who, at peril of his life and by force of arms, arrests the murderer. In each case the denunciation denotes not loftiness of soul but weakness both of mind and morals."

-- William Shakespeare

actually, it's Theodore Roosevelt, from TR's "America and the World War," which was quoted at www.andrewsullivan.com

"That's why a couple of days later the normally sober, soft-spoken, funereal Tom Daschle, the Democrats' leader in the Senate, had a meltdown on the floor of the chamber. For months now, the calmly evasive Daschle has stuck to an unvarying routine on Iraq. He has "concerns." He has "grave concerns." His concerns have concerns. He's gravely concerned the President isn't concerned about some of his concerns and that concerns him all the more. Plus he's concerned that the Republicans may be politicizing the political process. Also, he has "questions." Thousands of questions: Has the President weighed all the options? Is the President aware of the risks? Could the President weigh all the options a couple more times? Is the President aware there may be some risks he's not aware of? When the President says he's weighing all the options, is that in pounds or bushels? Does the President know who put the bomp in the bomp-sh-bomp-sh-bomp, who put the ram in the ram-a-lama-ding-dong? Where have all the flowers gone? What kind of fool am I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why can't I? In the immortal words of David Cassidy, how can I be sure in a world that's constantly changing?"

-- William Shakespeare, from his play The Mark Steyn of Venice
