(Im)pertinências: Pro memoria (434) - The difference between a comedian and a buffoon demagogue is just one of the least important differences

Our Self: Um blogue desalinhado, desconforme, herético e heterodoxo. Em suma, fora do baralho e (im)pertinente.
Lema: A verdade é como o azeite, precisa de um pouco de vinagre.
Pensamento em curso: «Em Portugal, a liberdade é muito difícil, sobretudo porque não temos liberais. Temos libertinos, demagogos ou ultramontanos de todas as cores, mas pessoas que compreendam a dimensão profunda da liberdade já reparei que há muito poucas.» (António Alçada Baptista, em carta a Marcelo Caetano)

On March 30, 1981, John W. Hinckley Jr., a nuts, fired several shots to impress Jodie Foster with whom he was in love, and seriously injured President Ronald Reagan, who upon arriving at the hospital told a joke to his wife.
