"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: |

 | While it went a little under the radar, it may have been one of the most important stories pertaining to the 2008 presidential race: James Dobson wrote in his New York Times op-ed that "[s]peaking personally, and not for the organization I represent or the other leaders gathered in Salt Lake City"--wink, wink--he "firmly believe[s] that the selection of a president should begin with a recommitment to traditional moral values and beliefs. Those include the sanctity of human life, the institution of marriage, and other inviolable pro-family principles. Only after that determination is made can the acceptability of a nominee be assessed." Dr. Dobson will not shy away from seeking a third party candidate "if Democrats and Republicans do indeed abandon the sanctity of human life and other traditional family values." | |||
