Quotes of the Week






More quotes

"Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and thepoliticians as a joke." —Will Rogers

=>Wow, this is insanely relevant to politics today even though it was spoken 30+ years ago. Comedians are being taken very seriously, look at Imus, and more recently JV and Elvis from CBS. With the huge credibility gap Bush and many Congressional Republicans created in the handling of the war in Iraq, people are finding it difficult to take what national political figures like MCs and the President seriously.

-------------------
"If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." -Harry S Truman

=>Well, if that's true, then I've got a head start :). Remember Clinton got a chocolate lab and named it Buddy during the height of the Lewinsky investigations? His approval ratings went up after the dog's first photo op. Oh, and Gerald Ford had a golden retriever he named Liberty in the post Nixon pardon era. Yay for the patriotic dog names!




-------------------
"It's the most important decision I've had to make since 1978 when I decided to get a bikini wax." - Arnold Schwarzenegger when deciding to run for CA Governor

=> How could you compare being Governor of the largest state in the union to bikini wax I'd take the former anyday!






--------------------

"When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it."- Clarence Darrow

=>I don't believe it. Today, anyone that could raise $20million+ in 3 months has this chance and should consider running, which is why I don't consider it. :\
