Quote of the day--on the difference between Democrats and Republicans, friends and enemies

"There is a big difference between a disappointing friend and a deadly enemy.  Of course the Democrats are disappointing.  That's what makes them Democrats.  If they were any more frustrating, they'd be your relatives.  But in this country, they are all that stands between you and darkest night. 


You know why their symbol is the letter 'D'?  Because it's a grade that means 'good enough, but just barely.'  You know why the Republican symbol is 'R'?  Because it's the noise a pirate makes when he robs you and feeds you to a shark."  --Bill Maher, "Real Time with Bill Maher

How war should be

"In the earlier days of history, kings and leaders went to the battlefield with their men; but today, those who determine that a nation will go to war remain safely behind. 


The next time leaders talk of warring, all the people should get together and send those leaders to the front lines. Give them a big arena with wonderfully effective ammunition, and the war will be finished in a day."   — Parmahansa Yogananda, January 17, 1943
