Quote of the Week - 05/14/07

In "honor" of the late Jerry Falwell, his thoughts on 9/11: "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"

Quote of the Week - 05/07/07

"By coating her hands in the genital secretions of female tortoises and gently stroking him, she managed to demonstrate a couple of times (in the course of several months’ work) that George was capable of an erection. But whereas her touch could induce other male tortoises to reach orgasm within a few minutes, with George she never managed to collect any sperm." - John Tierny, "A Lonesome Tortoise, and a Search for a Mate," The NY Times, May 8, 2007.

"There can be no equal justice where the kind of trial a man gets depends on the amount of money he has." - Justice Hugo Black

Quote of the Week - 04/16/07

I decided that it might be nice to archive the quotations that I feature -- for the sake of history -- by making them blog posts when their week is up.

"Today is a horrible, horrible day. I have absolutely nothing to add that is insightful or anything. I will just do what I always do when faced with something that is that powerfully damaging to the emotional core: I will begin to repress it and I will swallow it and I imagine that thirty years from now someone will spill juice and I will freak the fuck out." - Jon Stewart, 04/16/07

Oh SNAP!

Never in a billion years would I have thought that I'd be posting a quote from Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC). But here, for all to enjoy, is a question he asked to Alberto "Gonzo" Gonzales yesterday:

"I don't believe that you're involved in a conspiracy to fire somebody because they wouldn't prosecute a particular enemy of a politician or a friend of a politician. But at the end of the day, you said something that struck me: that sometimes it just came down to these were not the right people at the right time. If I applied that standard to you, what would you say?"

Senator Graham, I rarely see eye to eye with you, but today, I salute you.

Quote of the Week

You may not have noticed but, back in the old format, I had a quote at the very bottom of the page that I'd update now and again. I've moved the quote over to the left side of the page in an effort to make it easier to find, but I wonder if people even notice it. I will try to update it weekly. If you missed the first quote last week, well, too bad so sad.

I wanted to feature this week's quote because I enjoy all things critical of the current administration:

"The very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the hell they're going . . . . So rather than go over there, develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, 'No, thanks.'" - retired Marine General John J. "Jack" Sheehan, a former top NATO commander who was among those rejecting consideration by the Bush Administration for the job of "War Czar."

You can read more about it in the Washington Post.
