Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
Mark Twain

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heal that has crushed it.
Mark Twain
Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on….or by imbeciles who really mean it.

Example cited:
The Bush Administration recently announced that the budget deficit for FY09 will be $482 billion. White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said President Bush is determined to enforce greater fiscal discipline while pursuing a pro-growth economic strategy…. He has 4 months left in office and NOW he wants to enforce greater fiscal discipline. The $482 billion doesn’t include the $180 billion per year being spent … in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I’ve had thousands of problems in my life, most of which never actually happened.
