Verbal Chinese Water Torture

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on March 28, 2015 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 5, 2017

“Great Literature” is a generally agreed-upon concept–but according to *whom*, really? By its very nature, it is also a subjective concept. A great deal of literature most commonly defined as shining touchstones, to me are little more that dull or even irritating. Take the notorious opening lines from A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"The conundrum of insanity, is that it serves us to be some of each. It's really only a question of degrees. You cannot possibly be 100% adjusted and live in this INSANE world. A little bit of crazy is a coping skill."

Politics Quotes

Favorite Quotes

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that could write in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface, and at temperatures from below freezing to 300 C. The Russians used a pencil. ~ [Editor's note: while humorous, this is actually inaccurate. See http://mentalfloss.com/article/13103/russians-didnt-just-use-pencils-space]

In another timeline, Hillary Clinton wins. Merrick Garland becomes a Justice. RBG retires. Anthony Kennedy doesn't.

There is no Gorsuch. There is no Kavanaugh. There is no Coney Barrett.

These are the consequences of ONE election.
