Donald Trump has taken the Peter Principle to unprecedented heights. Or is it depths?

There's no better tonic for other people's bad ideas, than to think for oneself.

Donald Trump isn't really running for president, come on! This is obviously a new reality show, Celebrity Presidential Apprentice. It ends with the incompetent celebrity being berated, humiliated, then unceremoniously fired.

Life's saving graces are love, pleasure, laughter ... wisdom, it seems, is for the Hereafter.

Trump appeals to the disaffected by loudly trumpet-ing what they want to hear: other people are always the problem, and the solution is to either put them in their proper place or get rid of them.

Hell hath no fury like a frustrated fundamentalist whose God condemned him to "hell" for having "impure thoughts."

I lived as best I could, and then I died. Be careful where you step: the grave is wide.
