If you hadn't disclosed the name of the author, who is living proof of Woodrow Wilson's astute adage that "Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age [and ignorance] just shows up by itself."--


The Unknown

As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

It would sure sound like a very funny stand-up routine (and meant to be that way)

... or Yogism knock-off ...
... or is it more like the "who's on first" shtick ?

However, like the sayer of "I am the master of low expectations" it is becomming clearer by the day that the "unknown knowns" outweigh the "known knowns" by a wide margin in the halls of power...

Just last week we were treated to this:

"It's in our country's interests to find those who would do harm to us and get
them out of harm's way."-Washington, DC, April 28, 2005.
