Quote of the day 5/3/08

Thomas Jefferson via Wikiquote,

I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.

From a letter to James Madison (January 30, 1787); referring to Shays’ Rebellion Lipscomb & Bergh ed. 6:65

(a tip of the conservative ball cap to Dad29).

Quote of the Day 5/1/08

Yeah, it’s early. But I think someone nicknamed parc0023 hit the nail on the head with a comment on the NCAA not changing the BCS,

Nobody wants to see the National Championship decided on the field anyway.

‘Zactly.

(a tip of the conservative cap to my buddy Chris at TWSB)

Quote of the Day 4/30/08

Jimmy Carter on CNN’s The Situation Room,

The basic problem [with] our economy, which is now very bad,…

The dude should know bad economies. I certainly remember his.

The video is here (You’ll probably have to watch a short ad first). The quote is about 3:30 in.

Quote of the Day 4/26/2008

From Where I sit’s elliot says

The road to hell isn’t paved with good intentions, it’s paved with “unintended consequences.”

Quote of the day 4/23/2008

Hillary Clinton (I know, I’m quoting her again. Good Lord!)

In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them.

Argue, if you will, if she really meant it, that it contradicts earlier sentiments, etc.

It’s just good to see a Democrat with balls.

Even if she is a woman.

Now if she were only telling the truth.

Quote of the day 04/14/2008

From Thomas Sowell (I think most conservatives feel this way)

Senator John McCain could never convince me to vote for him. Only Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama can cause me to vote for McCain.

Quote of the day 3/29/2008

Hot Air via Sean Hackbarth at The American Mind (who by the way is looking for work, if you know of anything, I’m sure he would appreciate it) reminds us of this Howard Dean quote from 2004,

The real issue is this: Who would you rather have in charge of the defense of the United States of America, a group of people who never served a day overseas in their life, or a guy who served his country honorably and has three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star on the battlefields of Vietnam?

Quote of the Day 3/15/2008

David from Carrick Bend Thoughts posting at Hobo Springs

I walked out the door this morning to 37 degrees and thought how nice it feels. Kind of like getting a tax refund.

Quote of the day 03/11/2008

From David at Carrick Bend Thoughts

[Air Force] Tankers are unique in that they must avoid combat situations at all costs. And if anyone knows about avoiding combat, that would be the French.

Quote of the Day 03/11/2008

From Spring City Chronicle

[A]nyone who runs for office, Democrat, Republican, Green, Communist, Socialist, Libertarian, it doesn’t matter, all office-seekers have a genetic defect.

Quote of the day 03/07/2008

Waukesha mayor Larry Nelson,

If Republicans controlled the Senate, then we would have met with their leaders.

Ouch. Mr. Mayor, that hurt.

Quote of the day 03/06/2008

From Dad29 on the economy,

…things are just fine, so long as you don’t eat or purchase gasoline.

Quote of the Day 03/05/2008

Governor Jim Doyle could announce he’s secretly a polygamous space alien who only became governor because the voices in his head told him to run and nobody would notice.

Quote of the day 02/25/08

It comes to us from Peter at Texas Hold ‘Em Blogger

Go ahead and look out for No. 1. Just be careful not to step in No. 2.

Quote of the Day 02/16/08

From The Week magazine, page 4, under Good week for, talking about a Chinese government plan to clean up Beijing for the Summer Olympics,

Before the campaign, nearly 5 percent of China’s citizenry routinely hawked up loogies on the sidewalk, but now only 2.5 percent do.

It’s just satisfying to see “hawked up loogies” in a news magazine.

Quote of the Day 02/14/08

Spring City Chronicle on politics and politicians.

I’ve lived through eleven Presidents and all I know is that I’ll get screwed, the politicians will get rich and if you believe that your candidate is different, you’re stupider than you look.

Me, too. So why do we persist in giving any of these guys the time of day?

Quote of the day 02/12/2008

Found this gem, and she’s definitely not conservative,

Science is political when it comes to how research is funded, how questions are asked, how the questions are answered, and how they are interpreted.

Quote of the day - 01/28/08

P. J. O’Rourke, via Dad29, an oldie but goodie, especially as Dad29 updates the Massachusettes health care boondoggle.

If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free.
