  • "If you like sausages and laws, you should never watch either one of them being made." -- Otto von Bismarck

  • "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

"You Lie"

Was Rep. Joe Wilson's "You lie!" outburst during last night's speech inappropriate? Yeah, it breaks protocol a little bit. But if he did that because he believed in what he was saying and trying to represent his constituents, then I'm not so sure he owes an apology to anyone. Perhaps he should have finished them off with, "Lying to the American people is what is really inappropriate here! Disrepectful? What about all the things Obama has said that disrespects us as Americans? What about those comments? What about the fact that he and the other libs in office are completely disregarding all of August's town hall meetings full of people who clearly don't want this government 'solution'?  What about the democrats in congress booing Bush during his '05 State of the Union?  What about the hypocrits in office right now?  If I may be so kind, you may all stick it!" Joe Wilson, for a brief moment, was a representative with some balls. Stand up and grovel no more, Joe.

On a side note, Mark Levin made two excellent points last night:
  1. It's ironic that Obama calls for "accountability" in health care while he is the most profligate spender in American history.
  2. Employment is one of the key ways people pay for health care, and this administration is experiencing (perhaps, in no short supply, contributing to) one of the biggest unemployment rates in a very long time.
