hubris
–noun
excessive pride or self-confidence; arrogance.

Kinda reminds me of Morpheus in The Matrix:

“This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.”

AND

Cypher: It means fasten your seat belt Dorothy, ’cause Kansas is going bye-bye.

That is how I felt on the 5th of November last year.

OR

Morpheus: We don’t know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.

The current crop of fools in DC are just so stupid, I have come to believe, it is really hard to fathom.

“Sometimes I think the only function that a blogger can perform is to become a chronicler of the descent into insanity. The issues are no longer Right versus Left; Conservative versus Liberal. To some extent it is a battle between sanity and Looney Tunes.”

Thanks! I LOL’ed! I would add batshit crazy Looney Tunes.

Alexis @ 15:

“Good grief, at least my polar mirror idea is passive in nature. And reversible.”

But just as batshit crazy. You do realize that do you not? Go do the math for area needed to be covered. Okay, whew!, in 17 you realize your folly, I hope.

hdgreene @ 24: (Fixed it for you)

“I believe the administration is full of functional morons who think they are smart people (because Mommy told them they were special and have never grown up to understand that she meant to her not to the world) who feel their brain farts have a high intrinsic value.”

Did I take the wrong pill before I went to work this morning and wake up in an alternate universe?
