“It is a sin to believe evil of others, but it is seldom a mistake.”   —   H.L. Mencken

(I think that old Hank Lou and I could have been great buddies.  We’re both fans of Nietzsche, and are critical of the same things.  It’s a shame he died about 8 months before I was even conceived!)   —   YUR

“The single essential ingredient of good manners is a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others.”   —   Emily Post

(In today’s age of entitlement – the opposite of the age of enlightenment? – it seems that that sensitive awareness has been replaced by a callous indifference of the feelings of others.  Although, I feel we do need to carefully weigh the feelings of others with the quest, and need, for the truth.  My very first Emily Post quotation!)   —   YUR

PS.  I just liked the sweetness of the Emily in this painting.   —   YUR

PS.  I “Published” this at 11:06 AM, on Monday 8/29/11, but as I checked the main page, this morning, it was *missing*!  Fortunately, I found it in my Drafts folder.  This is not the first time WordPress has hiccuped.  WordPress must have some kind of bug, and I sure wish they would fix the damn thing.  It’s crap like this that makes me look bad.   —   YUR

PPS.  And yet again this did not post, despite my “Publishing” it AGAIN!  It keeps ending up as a Draft.  I’m trying one last time before sending the Limeys a nasty note!   –—   YUR

Visual Description:  A couple of Fudds really pissing off Daffy!

RCDOH  =  CHORD,  LRDWO  =  WORLD,  MEOEVR  =  REMOVE,  EBEFEL  =  FEEBLE   —   Giving us:  ODWOMOFL

Clue/Question:  Being shot at by the hunters put the duck in this.

Answer:  A “FOWL“ MOOD

(Okay.  Nothing new in the clue word category, but I did like the scrambling of “chord” and “remove”.  I think it’s natural to get a little caught up in the soft CH sound, as opposed to the hard C/K sound that you also get from a ch.  That might have thrown some off, a little, on “chord”.  Good answer letter layout.  The answer sure seems like an old friend, but I think the cartoon, and the duck’s comment, makes up for this feeling like a repeat.  Be well and do good, friends!)   —   YUR
