Picked up this collectible at The PARTEI store on Saturday afternoon.





This was written on the back:

'W'ism, in short, is not only the giver of laws and the founder of institutions, but the educator and promoter of spiritual life. It wants to remake, not the forms of human life, but its content, man, character, faith. And to this end it requires discipline and authority that can enter into the spirits of men and there govern unopposed. Its symbol, therefore, is the 'W', the symbol of unity, of strength and justice.

That sounded really familiar to me and I was going to hunt up the original source for you but then CNN's Larry King came on the TV with important breaking news about the British royal family. Apparently Prince Ernie, or Louie, or whatever the hell his name is, may have been caught diddling a common waif following the annual Royal Hedgehog Hunt at Epsom - or stealing clootie dumplings from Her Majesty's scullery - or something tawdry and unseemly - whatever - gotta go - CNN's all over the story!

What would we ever do without CNN.
