I was tagged by Enas Yorl all the way from The Center of the Anomaly
He said the rules were simple:
The Rules: 1. Write your own six word memoir. 2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you want. 3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere. 4. Tag at least five more blogs with links. 5. Leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play…
As near as I can tell, it started here: HERE
At first I thought “Ohh, I have one!” It went like this: “… he drove himself to the hospital.” Nah, too close to sensitive territory. Then I began to fret, because being new to the blogging scene I have a handful of folks that I’d feel comfortable approaching with the Meme Thang, and they’ve been tagged more than once in some instances. So I thought “What if I’m not good enough?” or “Am I letting someone down if I don’t go on to tag multiple others myself?”
Then I said “Hell with it. Doin’ it anyway.”
My six word memoir is…
Life: Too short to suffer fools.
I made up a collage to show what the inner workings of my mind are chewing on when I think of that meme. I present to you… the Raft of Fools.
Some may say “Well now, Lemur King, why didn’tcha include the Clintons? Here’s why: They are not fools. They are dangerous, yes. They are scumbags, yes. They present a clear and present danger to many of the things that I hold dear. But they are most decidedly not fools or they would not have gotten away with so much.

Ah, excellent! That wasn’t such a hard taks now was it? BTW, who’s the fool in the very bottom right corner about to have his head crushed by the Goracle?
That would be Sandy “The Socks” Berger, Clinton lackey-thief of classified documents who (strangely) never got nailed for stealing secret documents like you or I would.
It was a bit of Freudian GIMP-ing on my part.
Oh, yes. Sandy Burgler – it was yet another case where G.W. Bush & Co. dropped the ball. I was sick when I heard that he was given a tepid slap on the wrist and let off. It was about this time I started to get an inkling of how disappointed I was going to be with this presidency. So much opportunity squandered and sacrificed just to try and make the dimocraps like him. “New Tone” my ass.
Ayuh. Had you or I stuffed our socks with even the Kleenex(tm) usage information in the men’s restroom on the second floor of the Pentagon we’d have been locked away in a dark hole until our grandchildren drew social security.
The first time so long that we had a president and a majority in congress, and what do the conservatives do? They roll over and do NOTHING because they don’t want to upset anybody. Did you note what happened when the dems won the majority? They weren’t having bake sales, they were going for jugulars.
Two conclusions can be drawn and they are not necessarily mutually exclusive: (1) Republicans are not at all about conservatism anymore, and (2) They are a bunch of utter pansies.

Man you got that right. It’s been my opinion, after watching the Repubs roll over and play dead the last four years, that they are working with the Dems to create a one party system.
Total power is truly non-partisan.
I’m no conspiracy theorist either. Just looks that way to me.
No, I’m not a conspiracy theory nut either, but you gotta admit, it couldn’t look any nuttier if they tried.
Power corrupts. Absolute power… is kinda neat.
Oh! I thought it was “Hell with it. Doin’ it anyway.” That’s a pretty good one.
Do you know — oh, god, I really hate myself for saying this — I’m actually starting to admire Hillary Clinton? She really, really wants that nomination…and they’re going to have to pry her cold, dead hands off it.
No, no…I get it. I’m not giving up my hard-won Clinton-hating credentials.
But…
Seriously…
The woman has giant, clanky ones.
The air pressure in the room dropped precipitously as I sucked in a huge breath. The cat’s eyes crossed and he keeled over (he’s an old cat). The children got nasty decompression… uh…. you get the picture.
Aw, that’s ok then. It’s ok to admire and hate someone at the same time. Ever see the movie “Hell in the Pacific”? Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifume – AWESOME movie. They lived by that at times.
“Hell with it. Doin’ it anyway” is what got me into trouble so very very many times. Had to nix that before it gained purchase again.
