Two of my favorite pundits
"PRESIDENT: The leading figure in a small group of men of whom -- and of whom only -- it is positively known that immense numbers of their countrymen did not want any of them for president." -- Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary (1906)
ELECTION CHOICES: "One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly." -- Woody Allen
AND ONE IDIOT'S ADVICE TO THE FUTURE PRESIDENT: "Forgive student loans. . . Education should be free. People are saddled with such extreme debt -- and without jobs. . . People shouldn't feel guilty about debt. . . ." -- Hopi Wilder, acupuncturist who apparently borrowed heavily to get a master's degree, but feels deprived.
What DOES she feel guilty about? Or isn't the word "guilt" in a liberal's vocabulary?

Helen Keller: "Our democracy is but a name. We vote. What does that mean? It means that we choose between two bodies of real - though not avowed - autocrats. We choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
OLD SAYING: (From a l960's radio contest) If you can't be kind to worms, leave them alone.
-- Non sequitur -- but still funny.
