Stulta est Clementia
I’ve been keeping this quote from Juvenal in my back pocket. But now that professional idiot Glenn Beck has published a novel (yes, really–please don’t take that link as an endorsement):
Stulta est clementia, cum tot ubique
vatibus occurras, periturae parcere chartae. (I.17-18)
Periturae is the key word…Beck’s scribbles will no doubt be pulp within a year, and his name an answer to an obscure trivia question in decades to come (anybody remember Wally George?)
