500 Words XXXVI - This Week's Sentence

In the spirit of appalled disenchantment, deep revulsion and utter contempt for the three main allegedly political parties currently bickering over which of them gets to despoil our country for the next four years, this week's sentence harks back to the days when politics mattered and democracy was not debased to its current sickening extent.
It is taken from The Inaugural Address of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The sentence is: 'We must act, and act quickly.'

You know the rules. Five hundred of your finest words, please.

Somebody pass me a gun; I've got a revolution to start.
¡Hasta la Victoria Siempre!

Oh my, the potentials of that quote! If only the inspiration goblins that I have instead of muses haven't abandoned me. :(

It can and it will, Katherine.

Vanda: Kick those goblins firmly in the butt and get writing. I miss your wonderful imagination running riot over five hundred words.

Hi, Jules!
SOOOOOO good to hear from you again. How's life in Paradise?

Yes, Old Britain has been getting a little taste of New Britain courtesy of those unpronounceable Icelanders and their pesky volcanoes.
We miss you like crazy over here in Blogville, dammit.
