First bon mot of the new year

"It is not power that corrupts, but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it, and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it."


Aung San Suu Kyi


My thanks (once again) to HomeInKabul for alerting me to this quotation. It seems like I'm plundering all my ideas from her blog just lately!

Yay! I plunder too!

I would like to post my own poetry (like you do), but alas, I suck.

Do a search term review (an idea i ahem, borrowed also.) I bet you get funny search terms...

I am working more from the other end - I deliberately attempt to litter my posts with 'unique' phrases that might attract eccentric Googlers.

I'm not sure that I've had any success as yet.
