Too big to fail

Quote
As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
-H.L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)

Len.
He is completely correct! Who else taught all of our young that oral sex is not really sex! After all, what is important is... what the defination of is, is? Nice that we now have passed the "moron stage" and have moved on to having a man in the office we can respect! Thanks Thom! Joe A

Mencken: the original 'shock jock' you might say. I like these quotes better .....
"I never lecture, not because I am shy or a bad speaker, but simply because I detest the sort of people who go to lectures and don't want to meet them." "Unquestionably, there is progress. The average American now pays out twice as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages." "Philosophy consists very largely of one philosopher arguing that all others are jackasses. He usually proves it, and I should add that he also usually proves that he is one himself." |
