Quote of the Day

Scott Adams -

I have a theory that only people who have never been rich would believe that the rich are routinely willing to kill enormous amounts of people to get richer. Personally, I've been poor and I've been rich. And I can speak from first hand experience about how it changes you. I'm far less bloodthirsty than before.

Quote of the Day

Deminski and Doyle are talking about people who don't follow racial stereotypes, so you have the Japanese guy who can't do math, the black women who like rock, and the Mexican guy who doesn't like spicy food...the best exchange:

Caller: I'm a gay guy and I don't talk with a lisp, I enjoy hunting and fishing, I watch football, and I drink beer. In fact, my idea of a perfect day is one where I spend the day fishing.

Doyle: I just don't understand that.

Deminski: What, you've got issues with him being gay?

Doyle: No, the fishing. Where's the fun in that?

Deminski: You know it's 2006 when you can understand a guy being gay but you can't figure out why anyone would want to go fishing.

Scott Adams -

I should note that I'm a vegetarian, but only for selfish reason. Saving critters from pain is an excellent goal if it's practical. But I can't reconcile that goal with what would happen if humans stopped killing animals. The alternative is to wait until the bears - for example - are about to copulate and then swoop in and place the condom on the boy bear without him noticing. Otherwise it seems to me that we'd have too damned many bears. If that happened, you'd be all 'Where's the remote control for the TV?' and your spouse would be all 'A bear is sitting on it' and you'd be all 'Again?!!' And you know how much you hate it when people say 'I'm all' instead of 'I said.' That has to be at least as bad as killing animals. That's my only point.

Never attribute to conspiracy that which can be explained by incompetence.

Do you have an expectation of privacy when you check out a book from...the government?
