"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, misdiagnosing it, and then misapplying the wrong remedies.” -- Groucho Marx

Misattributed: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Groucho_Marx#Misattributed


Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.

Apparently attributed to Marx in Bennett Cerf (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennett_Cerf)'s Try and Stop Me (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Try_and_Stop_Me_%28book%29), first published in 1944. A citation of this can been seen in the Kentucky New Era on November 9, 1964 (http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=X-orAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ZWcFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4581,3323702&dq=art-of-looking-for-trouble&hl=en). Also attributed to Marx by Rand Paul (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Rand_Paul) in "The Long Stand," ch. 1 of Taking a Stand: Moving Beyond Partisan Politics to Unite America (New York, N. Y.: Center Street, 26 May 2015), p. 5.
The original quotation ("Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedy.") belongs to Sir Ernest Benn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Benn); a first known citation reportedly appears in the Springfield (MA) Republican on July 27, 1930.

The great thing about the Marx Brothers to me is that extra level Chico and Groucho rise to. Groucho starts out acting as straight man, and sets up Chico. Chico delivers the punch line. Now, if Stan Laurel or Lou Costello delivers a punch line, that's it. But after Chico delivers his punch line, Groucho makes a sarcastic comment on it which is funnier than the punch line.

Not that Harpo wasn't a great thing about the Marx Brothers too.

And why is this under New York?:confused:

I presume it's because he's mimicking my Sir Rogers de Claremore thread. I called it that because that is a line from the Will Rogers movie based on the Twain book: A Connecticut Yankee. I put that thread in the Oklahoma section because Rogers is famously associated with our state, so I figured that would make it easier for people to find. Not much forum slide in that subforum. And if he was going to pay me the compliment of imitation (or just satarize the hell out of me) in his choice of thread title, why wouldn't he go all the way?

Besides, the were from Brooklyn and it does make this thread easy to find. New Yorkers may believe everything happens there and nothing happens elsewhere. But the New York subforum has even less slide than the Oklahoma forum. Which makes sense, since we are making far greater strides back toward liberty than New York ever will.

Not that avoiding confusion is always a good thing. For example, it's certainly a good thing when Groucho says to cross the viaduct and Chico asks, 'Why a duck?'

Groucho's Sun/Moon Combo (Sun in Libra, Moon in Pisces)

Nothing is of its nature evil, and nothing is of its nature good. Evil is only excess, good is simply balance. All things are subject to abuse, all things are susceptible to beneficial use. And balance does not consist in denial, or excess of indulgence. (John Whiteside Parsons, born with Sun in Libra and Moon in Pisces)

The Sun is in Libra, and the Moon is in Pisces from 21:05 GMT 14 October 2013, to 1:17 GMT 17 October 2013. This combination mixes cardinal Air and mutable Water, blending Libra’s balance, gentleness, harmony and diplomacy with Pisces’ imagination, empathy and devotion.

Libra/Pisces bestow a naturally helpful attitude with the sincere desire to dispense blessings, supporting everyone in experiencing joy and love. Inspired by a spontaneous sense of wholeness, this binary easily embraces spiritual and healing ventures, knowing how to fit into the web of life, trusting, and surrendering to its motion, while also taking the necessary initiatives.

Libra/Pisces have no spontaneous awareness of boundaries in relationships. Everything is experienced as fluid and collective, part of the same whole. In love matters, it is the presence of love that counts, unrelated to permanent individuals, which makes it difficult to be conventionally faithful, unless there is conscious effort. Libra/Pisces have definitely a multidimensional perception in their relationships, with the capacity to engage with a variety of features, challenging the ordinary framework of time and space.

I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning. (Aleister Crowley, born with Sun in Libra and Moon in Pisces)

The awareness of their identity, as well as the identity of others is subject to constant changes, and may even disappear or be affected by radical shapeshifting.

I've often thought that there isn't any "I" at all; that we are simply the means of expression of something else; that when we think we are ourselves, we are simply the victims of a delusion. (Aleister Crowley, born with Sun in Libra and Moon in Pisces)

Libra and Pisces are in quincunx aspect, an angle of 150°, which is five-twelfths of the 360°. This aspect tends to cause slides into parallel universes affecting what happens in everyday reality. The influence can be moderate, yet in some circumstances rather abrupt. Depending on the level of consciousness of the individuals involved, it can be experienced in harmonious or disharmonious ways.

Hitler is already in power, breaking the Treaty of Versailles by building weapons, and rabble rousing against the Jews and certain neighboring countries...
