Einstein's definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result

[TheKentuckian]

1. Just a flat refusal to not be fucking stupid. These fools keep going for another bite of the apple

till they get it.

Hold them off, they'll get it eventually.

Fuck it!

[easychoice]

2. Good Morning Viet Nam

this will not end well.

[merrily]

3. Bob Hope, greeting the troops in Vietnam many years ago. "Hello, advisors."

Reaction from the troops: a combination of rueful laughter and jeering.

Just for the record, though,there is no evidence that Einstein ever said that and it does not appear in his writings. It certainly is, though, one definition of insanity (not THE definition, as many incorrectly say).

While I am at it, this is not photoshopped, as I originally assumed:

?w=218&h=300

4. I wonder what the name of the next terrorist group formed because of our

military intervention will be? This reminds me of Hercules trying to cut off the heads of the Hydra only to have five more pop up.

5. What could possibly go wrong?

6. lighten up, people. don't ya get it, everything will be awesome

because obama!

[silvershadow]

7. So we are going to train the next round of "folks", whom we will fight next time?

Sounds about right. Straight out of the playbook. smh.

8. and give them weapons, too!

More bang! for the buck.
