SCENE: A woman is dressing--putting on a stocking--as a cat sits nearby and licks it's paw.
CAT (thinking): I thought dogs were colorblind, not humans. Purrrrrrple stockings, brown camisole, black skirt? How cat-a-strophicly gauche.

She reminds me of:

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. H. L. Mencken
Great graphic, Dave. The resemblance to Uma didn’t strike me initially, but I can see it clearly in that linked image. Thanks.
And, yes, in a democracy people–or at least the majority of the voters–get what they deserve. We are the captains of our own fortunes–or misfortunate as I think happened in much of this election.
Also the Jane Margolis character in Breaking Bad played by Krysten Ritter.
She had longer hair than the Mia character in Pulp Fiction. Love me some Uma Thurman.
My first wife, before law school, wrote a massive undergrad paper on Mencken. Interesting read. He espoused lots of idea for which he is rightly rejected by those of us with a more ‘egalitarian’ bent. For instance his use of “comm on people” in the quote above.
“common…”
I really like this one.
Peter, I’m so glad. I feel the same way about it. When my friend Jen Contino submitted it to me, I enthusiastically approved it.
