On Reinventing Government
The fact is: we're gonna give it back, or we won't.--Jenna Wasson, former Student Senator
I think we should somehow say something in some way.
--Michelle Johnston, former Student Senate President
On Summing it Up
We're voting on a gist.--Former Student Senator David McGee
On Theology
In the theater of destiny, it never hurts to back up your creation myth with hard copy.--Steve Silberman in Wired.
All right. We've established that Wired doesn't like Microsoft or its hold on virtually every aspect of the industry. Who does? But if I read one more give-Netscape-a-break-it-was-bitten-by-the-big-bad-Microsoft story, I believe I will be sick. Honestly, you're beginning to sound like a bunch of Mac users.
--Elizabeth N. Heltman in Wired.
On Failure
Former Rep. Wes Cooley from Oregon has raised just $1,645 since announcing his attempt at regaining his seat he abandoned two years ago amid accusations he lied to voters about his war record... And $1,000 of that came from his father, Harold, the Associated Press reports...--Washington Times, April 22
On Don't We Know It
No matter how rich you are, you can only drink thirty or forty glasses of beer a day.--Adolphus Busch
On Nappy Dug-Out
It's better to spend money like there's no tomorrow, than to spend tonight like there's no money.--P.J. O'Rourke
Suppose you had an endless excess of the most gorgeous, obtainable women in the world--how quickly would you get tired of it? I think that the pure scoring aspect wore out very, very quickly. But then, there are very, very many variations on the theme.
--Hugh Hefner
On Mmmmm, Hate
A lot of people have hated me, but some of them are reading this page right now.--Mike Schmierbach, from his now 404 web page.
On Really Good Stuff
Even bad things are better... Bad music, for instance has gotten much briefer. Wagner's Ring Cycle takes four days to perform, while Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm by the Crash Test Dummies lasts little more than three minutes.--P.J. O'Rourke, again. God, we love him.
