Quote of the Day

"Africa is God's country...and He can have it!"----Groucho Marx

I think Spaulding's economics have been adopted by our HopenChangenChief:

"Well, I'll go further than that. I'll get off at the depot. The nickel today is not what it was fifteen years ago. Do you know what this country needs today?...A seven-cent nickel. Yessiree, we've been using the five-cent nickel in this country since 1492. Now that's pretty near a hundred years' daylight saving. Now, why not give the seven-cent nickel a chance? If that works out, next year we could have an eight-cent nickel. Think what that would mean. You could go to a newsstand, buy a three-cent newspaper and get the same nickel back again. One nickel carefully used would last a family a lifetime!"

I am having difficulty locating a script for a Burns and Allen program on tax season in which Gracie suggests we shut down the Federal mint and have China print our money. She makes reference to how cheap their currency is and how far it would go and the savings in printing...

Insert agonized groan here. The more I consider all of that the less point there seems to further comment.
