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.
