I've been laughing very hard at the discovery of my new favorite Spanish idiom.

El burro hablando de orejas - literally means "the donkey pointing out someone's ears", but is similar to the phrase of the pot calling the kettle black.

I think it's really funny for some reason.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
