My new favorite quote for the week:
"The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."
-George Carlin
Also I find it refreshing that Alan Greenspan had the cojones to say "Whelp, I fucked up" So rare in Washington these days. I always liked Al. Can you imagine after he gets out of office Vice President Prick Cheney saying that he had erred. Ha!
The NY times had an interesting link regarding the U.S. V. Senator Ted Stevens. It was all the DOJ's evidence. I was reading some of the emails back and forth between Stevens and Allen and some others. Man- these guys can barely form a cogent sentence! So many spelling and grammatical errors! (I realize that was a run-on sentence)
One guy used "Right" when he meant "Write" Oy vay! These people are in power roles too! Scary. It just reinforces the fact that it isn't how many Grammar Rodeo trophies you have on your bookshelf but who you know and who owes you favors. Sad.
