Quote Of The Day

"There's no question about it. Wall Street got drunk -- that's one of the reasons I asked you to turn off the TV cameras -- it got drunk and now it's got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments."
- George W. Bush, speaking at a private fundraiser, Houston, Texas, July 18, 2008 -

Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason.

Deal Or No Deal - Debate Or No Debate

Does it get any better than this? The economy is going down the drain. The Republican congress is in rebellion. The Democrats are actually agreeing with Bush on the bailout plan. McCain is desperately trying to gain some political advantage. His "country first" policy didn't last long. Meanwhile, Obama is trying to stay calm, cool, and collected. McCain has "suspended" his campaign to work on the bailout and he wants to postpone the debate. Obama insists he will go to Mississippi for the debate tomorrow, because he says he can do more than one thing at a time. Will McCain go or will he stay in Washington? Can they work out a last minute agreement so McCain won't be forced to multitask?

Politics makes sports seem boring.

Thought For The Day

You have the right to be wrong. Let your ideas fail, let your skills prove their inadequacy, and let your knowledge reveal its limits. None of that is the real you anyway.

When you fail you discover your boundaries. You map out the edges of your capabilities. And this allows you to eventually move beyond them.

Being wrong eventually leads to being right. And even where it doesn’t, it’s still a more interesting path than being nothing.
