Potent Quotables (updated periodically)

  • "If you like sausages and laws, you should never watch either one of them being made." -- Otto von Bismarck
  • "God who gave us life, gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever." -- Thomas Jefferson
  • "The best way to prove a stick is crooked is to lay a straight one beside it" -- FW Boreham
  • "There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who walk into a room and say, 'There you are' and those who say, 'Here I am'" -- Abigail Van Buren
  • "It was not political rhetoric, mass rallies or poses of moral indignation that gave the people a better life. It was capitalism." -- Thomas Sowell

A lockbox no more

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air has an excellent post today about Obama's proposed "tax relief" plan and the lack of transparency(!) and downright hypocrisy(!) of this plan in relation to Social Security.
I have long held that Social Security will not be around by the time I'm old enough to collect on it, so I hope all you SS pensioners are enjoying the fruits of my labor while you can. For younger readers (35 and under), you better be saving now. The Richest Man in Babylon was right.
