"Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution -- these can lift at a colossal humbug -- push it a little -- weaken it a little over the course of a century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast.
Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." -Mark Twain

"The political and commercial morals of the United States are not merely food for laughter, they are an entire banquet." |

Notes/Comment From Sam: |
||||
 | For proclaiming himself a "war president," George W. Bush certainly does not conduct himself accordingly. In a war where soldiers die because we "lack the funds" for body armor, he held a little $40 million party. The Inauguration, replete with extravagant dinner and over a dozen balls, was an affront to the troops salvaging metal from scrap yards to cover their vehicles. Per contra, while FDR was in office, waging World War II, he forwent any ceremonious Inaugural parties or dinners. | |||
