ShilohCat,

My favorite Mencken quote is:

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace in a continual state of alarm (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing them with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

I hadn't seen the "anthropoidal Pole" epithet before. Nice to see Mencken was such an equal opportunity racist. :)
