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 Billion Here, A Trillion There...

I'd like to call your attention to this picture of a cluster of stories off the Fox News website from January 28:

They can't help themselves, can they?  It's like they get re-programed when they get into congress into spend-bots.  Or maybe they were always programmed that way.  Nature or Nurture?

You sort of become numb to the vastness of the hole they're digging for us.  Because a $12,000,000,000,000 deficit isn't enough, is it Nancy?  Is it?  Let's go ahead and throw a couple more trillion in there for kicks.  Or maybe to continue with abject FAIL like this piece of crapnews:  SEC to require disclosure of climate change risks (WaPo)
The commission, in a 3 to 2 vote, decided to require that companies disclose in their public filings the impact of climate change on their businesses — from new regulations or legislation they may face domestically or abroad to potential changes in economic trends or physical risks to a company.
November cannot come fast enough.
