A little levity: Will Rogers
"Democrats never agree on anything, that's why they're Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans."



"Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke."



"I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat."



"I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts."



"I have a scheme for stopping war. It's this - no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one."



"If you ever injected truth into politics you have no politics."

"Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke." such as Jon Stewart being more popular than all of the FOX bu**sh**ters:)

4. Exactly, but .....
Will Rogers died in 1935. He was ahead of his time.

3. That's my cousin there folks...
Really! I grew up reading Will Rogers. Might have helped my later liberal leanings.
