Saturday Quotes, 7/4/09

Politically, I'm clumsy and full of rages.

--Jim Harrison

I'm there, Jimbo.

By contrast, demonstrating an utter lack of political self-awareness:

Life is too short to compromise time and resources... it may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: "Sit down and shut up", but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out.

--Sarah Palin, upon resigning Alaska's governorship.

That's a heck of a quit notice.

And one quip in response:

"[Palin] should also lead the nation's mothers to oppose mandating replacement of incandescent light bulbs with the new mercury poison gas bulbs.

--Peter Ferrara, Foxnews.com, in response to Palin's resignation.

Wonder if he supports expanding nuclear power?

The indelible idiocy of our body politic aside, happy 4th.



I'll be engaged in the pursuit of happiness up north for the next two days, trying to get in on the end of the hex hatch and fishing the Jordan river for the first time. Look for tweets under "Field Reports," a full writeup on return.

Palin’s move just puts yet more pressure on Obama to finally get some results, as the soaring rhetoric isn’t hypnotizing the plebes like it used to. This week Helen Thomas, Colin Powell, and Warren Buffet all turned on him. Polls are looking droopy for The One lately.

Obama’s porkulus program is a train wreck, all it’s done is bump interest rates and tank the dollar. We are being laughed at by bad guys like Tehran, Pyongyang, and Al Qaida who amazingly turned-down Barack’s timid friend-requests.

Palin could trounce him in 2012, when Americans would vote for the Gipper-in-Heels in droves- while begging for lower taxes, free enterpise, a defense posture with some backbone… an end to the radical, anti-American nightmare we’ve got now.

Go get ‘em Sarah-

Living in a bubble must get cramped after a while.
