Para o eleitor lisboeta...

...a quem ainda lhe possa passar pela cabeça votar em Manuel Maria Carrilho.

"Filósofos? 'Tá bem 'tá...Immanuel Kant was a real pissant,
who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume,
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Hegel.
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
on half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away
half a crate of whisky every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
and René Descartes was a drunken fart.
'I drink, therefore I am.'

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
a lovely little thinker,
but a bugger when he's pissed."

The Philosopher's song
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Eric Idle (1970)


Resumindo: nunca confiem num filósofo, já nos basta ter um primeiro-ministro com o nome de um!
