Oh My, LOL but how true these all are. I especially like 4 and 5.
Now if we can just get Robert to run for President...
Marlene, I can go on forever about the monetary debacle, but I usually wait until my wife sits down to her knitting.
Randi, I will not campaign for the nomination, but if elected, I am willing to spend my weekends at Camp David. As to affiliation, I am a Ron Paul Libertarian, and my wife drives around with an Obama bumper sticker. I don't know that we're a cross section of America, but we're pretty cross.

fabulous quotes! *Maria
ps. Thank you for the warm welcome a few posts ago... I just completed another school year...
and finally have a few extra minutes to catch up on reading.
It will come as a shock on Thursday morning when 7:30am rolls around and I'm not with 25 seventh graders!
Instead, I'll be HOME enjoying my second cup of coffee! Yeah!

Maria,
You've earned your second cup of coffee, but, oh, to be one of your seventh graders -- 12 years old and the whole summer lying ahead. Was there ever a feeling like being a kid on the last day of school! Thanks for stopping by.

Robert: As my wise hubby once said, (well actually he said it this morning after reading your comment,) "More proof that all the smartest people support Ron Paul." He also said,"Usually when people complain about the Fed, they know what is going on." Wow--Ron Paul and Obama in one family. I'll bet your family discussions get pretty lively. :)
hey..
I must say your quotes are very impressive and effective.
I have been preparing a speech and your quotes came in very handy.
I just wanted to say thank you.
People who dont see ur blog are missing out on a lot!
Randi,
I an pleased (thrilled, actually) to have found intellectual support out your way. Your hubby sounds like a guy who knows a smart guy when he sees one. You got me going on that "Banking For Dummies" piece, which may be the ruination of this blog (which would be an improvement).
Anon,
Well, I hope my quotes go over with your audience. You might keep in mind another quote of mine "Every good speech includes a summary that would have made a great speech."
