I Stooged to Conquer: The Autobiography of the Leader of the Three Stooges:
"Many people express surprise when they find out how much I like The Three Stooges. Apparently not many adult women share my appreciation. I don't care - I'm letting my Stooge flag fly. I think they were comedic geniuses.

I Stooged to Conquer: The Autobiography of the Leader of the Three Stooges:
"Moe's autobiography is a fairly quick read (not overly detailed about a lot of stuff, plus there are a lot of photos) but it is delightful. It begins with his childhood and ends in the mid 1970s with his final appearance on "The Mike Douglas Show" (n"

| I'm not sure what to make of this. On one hand, it's the story of a tragic family. On the other, it's a story of karma at work. Namely if you associate with sleazy individuals you're bound to receive the same treatment in the end. And if you persist ...more | |

“Evil is by nature fearful and superstitious; therefore it boasts. And thus boasting it succumbs, not to the power of good, but to its own inherent weakness. The premise of evil is a lie that must be compounded to be maintained, until it collapses of its own weight. Hence its downfall, though not immediate, is inevitable. This then is the true power of good: that good need exert so little to flourish, while evil must give all, and still fail.”
