QUOTES OF THE DAY 8-3-11

Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they’ve told you what you think it is you want to hear.  ~Alan Coren

It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.  ~Mark Twain, Pudd’nhead Wilson’s New Calendar, Following the Equator, 1897
Applause, mingled with boos and hisses, is about all that the average voter is able or willing to contribute to public life.  ~Elmer Davis

Every government is a parliament of whores.  The trouble is, in a democracy, the whores are us.  ~P.J. O’Rourke

The Lord’s Prayer is 66 words, the Gettysburg Address is 286 words, there are 1,322 words in the Declaration of Independence, but government regulations on the sale of cabbage total 26,911 words.  ~National Review

Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.  ~H.L. Mencken
