Quote of the Day – Politics Edition

This one’s from Alger:

The Slaughter Rule…

AND THE DISCUSSION of it at the Volokh Conspiracy persuade me ever more thoroughly of my hypothesis that the Dems do not intend to pass “Health Care,” but that they are convinced they must be seen to have tried.

One more thing they can blame on the Republicans for not being “bipartisan” about come election time.

U of W Socialists are Morons

From Gateway Pundit by way of Papa Todd, this picture says it all. Taken at the University of Washington tuition protest, here’s what our HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM is turning out:

Quote of the Day – Ron Paul Edition

I saw this last week but forgot to bookmark it. Unix-Jedi points to one of the most succinct expressions of my problem with Ron Paul I’ve ever seen. From Attack Cartoons:

you’re all familiar with the broken clock that is right twice a day. ron paul is like a strange broken clock that is right 23 hours a day. then you get to some foreign policy midnight, and in stead of chiming, it barks and smears itself with poo.

Thing is, 23 hours right is at minimum triple the time of anybody else in Congress, if not a couple of orders of magnitude better.

Unfortunately, the poo-smearing has been a deal-killer for me.

Quote of the Day – Ann Coulter Edition

“Isn’t food important? Why not “universal food coverage”?
