4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
LOL, remember a while back the flap over what Jacques Chirac said to the "new europe" countries when they were supportive of Bush? That they'd missed a good chance to shut up, or be quiet, etc. I saw many analysis of this, along with a variety of translations, but never once did I see it pointed out that M. Chirac was quoting Will Rogers
"8. There are three kinds of men
The ones that learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves. "
Liberal voters are the third type. Liberal polticians are the first type, and we all know which book they read.
read later
"If there are no dogs in Heaven,
then when I die I want to go
where they went."
Will Rogers, 1897-1935
