"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

Holy Flippin Crud, this is Awesome!

Take a trip down memory lane. Scary how 1979 was so much like 2009. Watch this video and related videos. There was a great interview with Milton Friedman on Donahue back in '79. Milton had such an amazing ability to cut through the crap and speak to people with respect, humor, authority, and logic. Something you don't see a lot of these days (and probably not in those days either)...

Why would anyone believe in the words of a Barney Frank or a Nancy Pelosi? Probably because they've never heard a Milton Friedman.
