Quote of the Day (P. J. O'Rourke, on the Difference Between the 2 Parties)

“The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, and then they get elected and prove it.” —Humorist P. J. O'Rourke, Parliament of Whores: A Lone Humorist Attempts to Explain the Entire U.S. Government (1991)

Guess what? We’re about to go through one of those cycles in which the GOP does its best to demonstrate the truth of O’Rourke’s statement.
