"This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety.

Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say, listen to this, it is important."

- Gary Provost

"I just think it's shocking how many of these young people wind up in prison and they get turned into hardcore criminals because they had a possession of a very small amount of a controlled substance. I really believe we should treat marijuana the way we treat beverage alcohol. If people can go into a liquor store and buy a bottle of alcohol and drink it at home legally, then why do we say that the use of this other substance is somehow criminal?"

-- Pat Robertson (one of the few things he's said that actually makes sense)

Wyldstaar · 03-16-2012, 07:49 PM

Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

Here we go again with the guns and targets from the Republicans

"There's a lot of things that haven't been hammered at because Rick and Mitt have been kind of going at each other.. Now that they've kind of trained their barrels on President Obama I'm afraid his, I hope his teleprompters are bulletproof."

- Foster Friess major contributor to Santorum's campaign

"I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me."

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

- Douglas Adams

The distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

A couple of days ago

Quote:

“I’ll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry’s come back,” Mr. Romney told the local news station after a campaign event in Euclid, Ohio.

In opposing the bailout, Mr. Romney instead lobbied for a process of “managed bankruptcy,” which he said would have allowed the car companies to restructure and emerge stronger than before.

Today

Quote:

"The president likes to take credit for the fact that as president, oil production was up," Romney said. "Well, I'd like to take credit for when I was governor the Red Sox won the World Series. But that's not the case."

Romney likes to contradict himself a lot

**JBond** · 05-09-2012, 04:47 PM

He's an idiot. The electoral system is broken. Very broken.

Ramplate · 05-09-2012, 05:12 PM

"These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage? I don't give a f**k about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We're making a big deal out of things we shouldn't be making a deal out of. They go on and on with all this bulls**t about "sanctity"—don't give me that sanctity crap! Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want."

- Clint Eastwood

“This was not a partisan map, her assertions are baloney.”

-David Wasserman, political analyst in response to Michelle Bachmann who e-mailed this fund raiser note around

Quote:

Bachmann email, May 11: A major development has just occurred in my race for the U.S. House of Representatives and I’m asking for your immediate help…

…You see, in retaliation for repeatedly standing up to President Obama on the national stage, liberal judges have redrawn the lines of my Minnesota Congressional District to try and wipe me off of the political map once and for all.

Their bias was so obvious they even gerrymandered my home — where my wonderful husband Marcus and I live –- entirely out of my District and placed it into one held by a six-term Democrat incumbent!

Three out of five people on the committee who made the decision are Republican
