Alton Foley over at Eschew Obfuscation is our kinda blogger. Keep it up sir! He earns our linky love for great quotes:
On the death of Rep. Jack Murtha:
“Two quotes immediately come to mind”
Clarence Darrow
I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.
Mark Twain
I didn’t attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.
On Democracy:
Where any two idiots can outvote a genius.

To the tune of WonderDog] There’s no need to fear! Michelle Big Mama Dawg is here!
[Or should the theme of this post be a play on the Soup Nazi? We are
No pizza for you!
torn. No treats for you! You are too fat!
From CNS News: Michelle Obama knows what is good for us peons. We are too fat. And Big Mama is going to help us do something about it. And when you get a communist in charge they do communist things. Like have THE Government throw money at it and take charge of it, and tell the little people what they can and cannot do. Like spend $400 million to bring grocery stores to lower income neighborhoods. That’s $400 million a year. Are you kidding me? Are you freakin kidding me? And spending another $10 billion to update the Childhood Nutrition Act. Continue reading

So I lifted some other peoples’ jokes to lighten the day:
“How I learned to mind my own business”
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, And all the patients were shouting, ‘ 13….13….13. ‘
The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a Little gap in the planks, so I looked through to see What was going on…..
One of them poked me in the eye with a stick!
Then they all started shouting ‘ 14….14….14 ‘… Continue reading

“The American people have essentially voted on this proposal and really what you have is a situation now where I think that the president and the Congress are going to need to figure out a way to save face and — and step back a little bit.”
And who said this?
“After listening to [the President] talk of little else during his… term, the American people understand quite well what he is proposing…, and by wide margins reject it. In fact, the polls show that the more they learn about [his proposal], the less they like it…
“[The President] has reacted by railing against [the opposing party] for obstruction — as if [the opposing party] are duty-bound to breathe life into his agenda and, even sillier, as if opposing a plan that the people do not want is an illegitimate tactic for an opposition party.”
Both quotes are eloquently said, but the speaker of the first quote, and the author of the second, might surprise you. Go to The Corner at National Review Online to see who said it and who they were talking about…

Unknown yet exactly where this originated, but it is too good to wait. I’ll track down whom to thank later. h/t Doug Ross, via anonymous poster at The Green Room in Hot Air until then. All the rest is blocked and pasted.
The free market (Laissez-faire Capitalism) did not cause this crisis, the government (CRONY Capitalism/Socialism/Communism) did.
The free market did not create Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and Sallie Mae, the government did.
The free market did not pass laws that force banks to lend to those who do not qualify for a loan, the government did.
The free market did not take us off the gold standard, the government did.
The free market did not dump trillions of dollars of cheap money into the system causing the largest asset bubble in history, the government did.
The free market did not create multiple multi-trillion-dollar unfunded entitlement programs, the government did.
The free market did not write a 60,000+ page tax code that punishes work, rewards sloth and buys the votes of special interest groups, the government did.
The free market did not destroy our public school system and graduate (or fail to graduate) generations of civically and financially illiterate citizens, the government did.
The free market did not drive our jobs overseas and kill our entrepreneurial spirit with over-taxation, over-regulation and frivolous lawsuits, the government did.
The free market did not ban drilling for oil, vilify coal and block the building of nuclear power plants in the United States, thereby transferring hundred of billions of dollars of American wealth and many thousands of energy-industry jobs to foreign countries, the government did.
This crisis is the result of a giant social engineering experiment and vote-buying scheme gone tragically wrong.
The free market does not try to engineer society or buy votes, the government does.
The government caused this crisis, the free market did not.
The government cannot fix the crisis, the free market can.

Wilder wrote in a piece posted to Politico’s Web site:
“a spate of recent losses in races that Democrats should have won underscores what has been obvious to me for a long time: The chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee is the wrong job for him.”
Tim Kaine did not cause Democrats to lose the most recent elections, Obama and Reid and Pelosi caused the Democrats to lose the elections. What Wilder should be railing at is the policies supported by Obama that got the Dems in this mess.
Unfortunately, it is not too late for Obama Reid and Pelosi to tack to the middle. But I think Obama is too proud and too stubborn (and Pelosi and Reid are too stupid) to change course now. We here at Smash Mouth would have preferred it if Gov. Wilder would not have made the reasonable suggestions that he did. The Obama Administration would be well-served if they followed the suggestions, and we don’t want that! When our enemies are digging themselves into a hole, we don’t want reasonable persons to tell them to stop.
