Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten.

Posted in Life, Literature, Music, Pre 2010, Web on June 11th, 2009 by Charlie

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

Then they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
I did not protest;
I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me.
- Martin Niemöller

This rewrite of the original poem by Martin Niemöller is particularly relevant these days.

Oh also, if you’re as pissed as me about the BNP’s seats in the EU, go sign this pointless internet petition.

Comic Sans

“If you love it, you don’t know much about typography, if you hate it, you really don’t know much about typography, either, and you should get another hobby.”
Vincent Connare – Designer of comic sans
Wallstreetjournal

I hate comic sans so much. It stands alongside “Chiller” and “Jokerman” as possibly the worst font ever.

This is a placeholder for something good! (not really)

Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.
-Kurt Vonnegut, A Man without a Country

Also, I received a letter for AIB telling me I got in :D
