Saturday, April 23. Presenting the new Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day:
On this day, traditionally celebrated as the birthday of The Bard, I am proud to announce the re-launch of WSTFTD. It is also my twelfth wedding anniversary. So, a great day all around. Enjoy!

And William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day is:



"...sworn brothers in filching."

Henry V, Act III, Scene 2, Line 47.

2. My dear Aristus!
Ah, this is wonderful, and so appropriate!

The Koch brothers, I take it?

How odd. They look like nice people...........and yet they are not. Your pick for their caption is really perfect!

And.........Happy Anniversary!

I'm really pleased you're doing this again...

Thank you!

6. If it is true they have billions.

They have no defense.

Although I think the choice of picture is actually a taunt.

Also my comments are about the concepts discussed about them. They may or may not be actually about them, but the conceptual actions as reported about them, is what I am commenting on. They could be a front group as easily as some group actually doing something. If someone going after casters in back row, it would make sense to create a fake back row. So the topic is what they are said to do, not actually them, they themselves are irrelevant, the actions done, regardless of who does them is the actual point of contention.

And that I am due beer and travel money, and many experiences.


All the pictures of them are of them smiling, that is rare choice most use with comments. Not that I agree with usage of imagery for creation of thought, I wonder why so many other people have pictures of many expressions.

Yet there pictures are always them smiling, that is an anomaly that really does not fit the pattern, and seem to be more a taunt.


I understand the doctrines they are reported to believe, I also know that the reports of people with there character and beliefs, can only be stopped by both sides.

It is the story of what do you say when the answer from someone is that they don't care.

The only way to try and build empathy, is to put them in a situation where they can empathize with people. Sometimes that is by them being inflicted by the suffering they ignore.



On the topic of Shakespeare.

The Dr. Who Shakespeare Episode was pretty good.

A bit off key, but did you see the Dr. Who Shakespeare episode, it was pretty good. What did you think of it being a Shakespeare fan?

I like Martha Jones as the Dr. Who Companion, Rose was good also, pretty good show.

Favorite clip from that show is this one.

9. An interesting thought on the Doctor who show.
I would guess it is speaking of how some writers are inspired, and postulates a source in that case.

If that show correlated, what would that mean? From the rules they set in that show?


I think most inspiration is of better thought, since there is much to learn from. But the loop in that episode is fascinating.

11. Just remember, because it is very important. When you talk of
thought for the day ... that means EVERY day. Not just when you feeling all Shakespearesque and all.
Thus sayeth one deeply dyed Shakespeare afficionado.
