A propos of nothing in particular, here is the chart of the day:
Fool me once | Shame on you |
Fool me twice | Shame on me |
Fool me fairly often | Hey, it’s a free country, I can believe what I like |
Fool me repeatedly | That’s just your interpretation |
Fool me every day | We report, you decide |
Fool me all the time AND take my money on a weekly basis | God said it, I believe it, that settles it. |
Now I just need to think of a good name for it.

Uncle Ebeneezer says
The Hierarchy of Derp!

As a great man once said:
Marcus Ranum says
There’s gotta be some entry for “pray… we don’t get fooled again”
Sunny Day says
I’d call it the Hierarchy of Foolishness.
John Morales says
Quite apposite, given the etymology of ‘hierarchy’.
(From the ancient greek for ‘sacred rulership’)
Carol Sperling says
How about Jacob’s Ladder?
