The state of American politics never ceases to amaze me. In fact, I'm so disgusted at this point that I don't watch the news or read the newspaper or listen to the radio (much).
For the record, I'm not sticking my head in the sand. I'm just looking out for my health. The current election cycle is not good for my blood pressure.
Having said all of that, it is laughable. And with that in mind, I've decided to share some of my favorite quotations from one of my favorite books. It's called, The Snark Handbook, Politics & Government Edition and it is compiled by Lawrence Dorfman.
Here they are:
"The drinking age should be 18. When you're 18, you're old enough to vote. You should be old enough to drink. Look who we have to vote for! You need a drink." -- Mark Price
"We'd all like to vote for the best man, but he's never a candidate." -- Kin Hubbard
"Hell, I never vote for anybody. I always vote against." -- W.C. Fields
"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal. Vote for the man who promises least; he'll be the least disappointing." -- Bernard Baruch
"You've got the brainwashed, that's the Democrats, and the brain-dead, that's the Republicans." -- Mark Russell
"Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so." -- Gore Vidal
"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." -- Plato
"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." -- Winston Churchill
"I honestly believe there are people so excited over this election that they must think that the President has something to do with running this country." -- Will Rogers
So there you have it, my fellow Americans. Just something to think about. And until next time, "That's life..."
