Quotes of The Day

Quote I

You send your kids off to college. They love you. You walk away with a Cornell mom T-shirt. You are walking away going this is great, and come Thanksgiving, your kid tells you that you are an imperialist and a racist and a homophobe. That is not worth $120,000. Andrew Breitbart

Quote II

From my standpoint, I see the long Republican realignment ending and going into a period of Democratic supremacy. I think there will be a lot of mistakes and a lot of bad things done. But I do believe the American people are really up to making the best of their politicians ... When I am given a chance to address college students, I always tell them, 'Always love your country but never trust your government.' I believe that. Robert Novak - 2007

Quote III

We’re told cars are dangerous. It’s safer to drive through South Central Los Angeles than to walk there. We’re told cars are wasteful. Wasteful of what? Oil did a lot of good sitting in the ground for millions of years. We’re told cars should be replaced with mass transportation. But it’s hard to reach the drive-through window at McDonald’s from a speeding train. And we’re told cars cause pollution. A hundred years ago city streets were ankle deep in horse excrement. What kind of pollution do you want? Would you rather die of cancer at eighty or typhoid fever at nine? P.J. O'Rourke

Tax Cuts.

It's your money after all, It's your money, not Uncle Sam's.

Most discussions of tax policy overlook a crucial initial condition: the ownership of the money before the government confiscates it. That is a moral consideration, or at least it ought to be. Pundits go on at great length debating whether the government can afford to let people keep a bit more of their own money. Very few ever ask whether the taxpayer can afford the high cost of government.

Do you remember Jazz Hands? Clapping = Bad, Jazz Hands = Good. Well the Special Snowflakes have taken it to the next level. Whooping and cheering are now bad.

Students who whoop, cheer and clap should face “consequences” because they are excluding deaf people, delegates at the National Union of Students conference said.

Audience members were repeatedly warned that they must cease whooping to express support for a speaker, because it has a “serious impact” on the accessibility of the conference.

I believe I will Jazz Hand them with 2 middle fingers. Wonder if they understand that?

Since we are discussing food, sort of, c'mon and play along. Your humble Cob enjoyed hot lunch while he was in school. After Michelle Obama finished up with her dictatorial food regime I wouldn't have. Neither did school age children.

Well, that is all coming to an end. Good-bye shit on a shingle. Adios excrement on a gluten filled starch product.

The buck stops here. No modern Slimy Weasel Democrat would have the guts to do what President Harry S. Truman did. US first nation to recognize the country of Israel.

The Jewish State’s existence would have been very short-lived were it not for the strong will of President Harry S Truman, who became the first world leader to recognize Israel, and he did so over the objections of his Secretary of State George Marshall, who was more popular with the American people than Truman.
