Quote of the Day

I liked this quote I just saw today over at CNN. It's from the Katrina thing, but it has universal applicability:

"Take whatever idiot they have at the top of whatever agency and give me a better idiot. Give me a caring idiot. Give me a sensitive idiot. Just don't give me the same idiot." -- Aaron Broussard, President, Jefferson Parish





Then again, this old quote has gained new currency lately:

"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”" -- Ronald Reagan, August 12, 1986

One of my favorite Reaganisms is, "Government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem."

My fav, "Trust, but verify."
