Saturday, April 13th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

[Aristus]

"Ne'er heard I of a warlike enterprise
More venturous or desperate than this."

Henry VI, Part I, Act II, Scene 1, Lines 44-45.

[In_The_Wind]

1. No more wars ...

[Aristus]

2. With Kim Jong-Un standing in for Macbeth.

Both are hungry for power and will do anything to maintain their toe-hold on it. They view power not as a means, but as an end in itself.

[In_The_Wind]

4. To what end will we go to prevent this ...

... travesty
called Kim Jong-Un

[pinboy3niner]

3. "You scullion! You rampallian! You fustilarian! I’ll tickle your catastrophe!"

--Henry IV Part 2

5. The book 'Shakespearean Insults' is one of my many sources

for this feature. It's very helpful.

Today's quote came from a consult with my tried-and-true Riverside Shakespeare.

9. LOL!

These are too perfect.

My faves: Bolting hutch of beastliness.

Thou crusty batch of nature.

and the tip top: Thou cream faced loon.

Oh, wait, there's a better one: Thou elvish marked abortive rooting hog. (! ).

All perfect descriptions of one Kim Jong Un.
