Here we are on the threshold of Autumn—when the average American realizes it's time to pay attention to politics. Since I've been paying attention all along, I'm devoting some time to "balance"on this day—as the equal hours of darkness and light invite us to do. I'm opting for a little sloth, just to balance, and will post other people's words today. Also, in in the interest of balance, I'll probably post long ones. Hopefully clever enough to amuse you "smart elitists" whom I love so dearly.
[A post-post note: So help me, peeps, I spent over a freaking HOUR trying to get the Reagan
quotes to appear in the same size font as the others. It's not because
he's a Republican. I think his quotes are the cleverest. Just want to
clear that up in case his son Ron pays a visit; I like him a lot. He inherited his father's wit but thankfully not his political views.]
''The Democrats are the party of government
activism, the party that says government can make you richer, smarter,
taller, and get the chickweed out of your lawn. Republicans are the
party that says government doesn't work, and then get elected and prove
it.''
—P.J. O'Rourke, 'Parliament of Whores'
''Being president is like running a cemetery: you've got a lot of people under you and nobody's listening.'' —President Bill Clinton
''A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward." —President Franklin Roosevelt
*''I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself.''
—Ronald Reagan
''Once you leave the womb, conservatives don't care
about you until you reach military age. Then you're just what they're
looking for.''—George Carlin (You got that right, George.)
*''Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest
profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close
resemblance to the first.''
—Ronald Reagan
