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

.gov

Kind of starting to define us isn't it?

Here's an interesting website if you're into this whole stimulus financial bit. You might say there is a plethora of information here: click me.

As Carl Sagan once said: "Billions and billions..." But that was in reference to stars not dollars being tossed around on your behalf like you had any say in it. Who can even keep up with this stuff? We've got the omnibus bill, the stimulus bill, all these various programs with fancy names, lovely sounding names...you can see other programs by going here. I'm not saying that all of these are unnecessary or bad...but dang...there's a lot. And like someone smart once said, "A government that can do anything for you can do anything to you."
