"Here is a fearless prediction: The 45th president, whoever he (or she) is, will be less pompous than the 44th."

-Jay Nordlinger

Quote du jour

Indeed, since I had spent virtually my entire adult life here and taken British nationality, I generally referred to myself as an American-born Briton. (For complex personal reasons, I did not even visit the land of my birth for more than 30 years after leaving it.) September 11 made a bonfire of that little vanity. From that day, I became an American who lives in Britain.

-Janet Daley

Quote du jour

I've nothing against trains...even high speed ones. I think the concept is great. I also think the concept of being carried about in a palanquin borne by Victoria's Secret models is great as well. Alas, I believe them both to be beyond practicality and neither is cost effective.

“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty.”

-John F. Kennedy

Quote du jour

Part of me wished that just the leading candidates — the top three or four — could have been there. The others are lark candidates, or boutique candidates. They just want to be “in the process” and on television. Some of those have valuable things to say. But, fundamentally, they’re in the way. They’re clutter.

-Jay Nordlinger

Quote du jour

Candidate Obama once called sitting president Bush “unpatriotic” for borrowing $4 trillion in eight years — a sum he matched in less than three. He advised Latinos to “punish our enemies” and mocked opponents for wanting to put “alligators and moats” on the border. Obama’s advisers reportedly promised to “kill Romney.” So civility is out the window, and 2012 will once again be a typically American no-holds-barred slugfest of anything goes from both sides.

-Victor Davis Hanson

Quote du jour

Holding one's breath waiting for the oxymoron that is the Obama Justice department to fully investigate itself or even uphold all the laws of the land is to imitate the cast of Avatar, or maybe the Smurfs.

"Winning confers the right to lead, not to reign."

-Pat Caddell

Quote du jour

Obama has been so consistently blaming Republicans in recent months for not approving the free-trade agreements with Korea, Colombia and Panama that it came as an utter surprise to his assistant press secretary Josh Eager that he hasn't yet sent them to Congress.

-Michael Barone

Quote du jour

“The rhetoric is heating up between Republicans Rick Perry and Mitt Romney. These two do not like each other. Perry has opposed many of Romney’s positions – but to be fair, so has Romney.”

Nerds of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your molecule chains!

Quote du jour

Our thoughts go out to everyone on the East Coast waiting for Hurricane Irene. In Washington, D.C., thousands of people have been left without power. They’re called Democrats.

–Craig Ferguson

Quote du jour

“If my theory of relativity is proven correct, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.”

Quote du jour

Events happen. Leaders are elected to lead (from the front, incidentally). That means dealing with events, not plaintively claiming to be their victim.

-Charles Krauthammer

Quote du jour

“A man of 21 with learning disabilities has been granted taxpayers’ money to fly to Amsterdam and have sex with a prostitute.”



...Why do they need a Dutch hooker? Just another hardworking foreigner doing the jobs Britons won’t do? Given the reputation of English womanhood, you’d have thought this would be the one gig that wouldn’t have to be outsourced overseas.

-Mark Steyn

Quote du jour

Obama is on the receiving end, as unpleasant as it might be for him, of the standard, run of the mill vitriol launched toward a sitting president. George W. Bush had it much worse, far as I can tell, and whined about it far less frequently.

-Keith Koffler

Quote du jour

"Those Democratic party SOBs in Washington won’t trust us to pick out our own light bulbs: what makes you think that they’ll let us have our own private manned space program? The only real question is which government agency they’ll use to stamp it out."

-Moe Lane -"This isn't heartwarming"
