Village Idiots


Belly Laugh of the Week: "I'm a big supporter of non-censorship [because] it forces me to hear opinions that I don't want to hear. I think that the more freely information flows, the stronger society becomes, [and] they can begin to think for themselves." --Barack Obama in China, though he's the one with a Cyperspace czar, the one who supports the "Fairness" Doctrine, and the one who was/is at war with Fox News because they disagree with him


Whose responsibility? "We have a responsibility to consider all good ideas to encourage and accelerate job creation in this country. I am looking forward to hearing from the private sector, from CEOs and small business owners and from Americans struggling to make ends meet on how we can work together to create jobs and get this economy moving again." --Barack Obama (Remember, by "we" Obama means government. But isn't it nice that he wants to hear from the private sector on job creation?)


Now he gets it: "It is important though to recognize if we keep on adding to the debt, even in the midst of this recovery, that at some point, people could lose confidence in the U.S. economy in a way that could actually lead to a double-dip recession." --Barack Obama, the biggest spender in the history of the world


Typical convoluted leftist "thought": "The argument by some that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed should be treated as a warrior and not as a common criminal misses the point. He wants us to treat him as a warrior. But he should, and will, be treated as the common terrorist criminal that he is." --Sen. Carl Levin (D-MA)


"By trying [KSM and four other terrorists] in our federal courts, we demonstrate to the world that the most powerful nation on earth also trusts its judicial system -- a system respected around the world." --Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT)


Except yes, she is second guessing: "I'm not going to second-guess the attorney general." --Hillary Clinton on the Gitmo terrorists being tried in New York


That's just superstition: "I think as far as his [Obama's] popularity decreasing, I think it's because people are so used to, they're so afraid of change and I think you have politics playing too much a role in what should be a natural, given that health care in this country needs to be improved and that's just a reality." --musician Stevie Wonder


Look who's talking: "Capitalism offers you freedom, but far from giving people freedom, it enslaves them." --actor Ian McKellen, who has made an awful lot of money because of capitalism


A rebuttal to McKellen: "Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?" --Harry Morris Warner (1881-1958), co-founder of Warner Brothers, in 1927


Non Compos Mentis: "I don't know what motivates [Nidal Hasan] ... as far as I know ... he's a sociopath; he's a criminal. He could have had a toothache and gone off because of that." --Geraldo Rivera


Lavish praise: "It's an interesting twist of fate here in our own backyard that former Vice President Al Gore has taken on a new platform and is now a catalyst for world change. So, in essence, he's president of the people. He's president of the planet. And the work that he's doing is more important than any other work that could possibly be done." --"eco-entrepreneur" Marci Zaroff
