On the war on terrorism: the liberals don't know that
the house has radon gas,
and the conservatives do but are trying to punch it.

Live TV died in the late 1950s, electronic bulletin
boards came
along in the mid-1980s, meaning there was about a 25-year gap when it
was difficult to put your foot in your mouth and have people all across
the country know about it.

Oh what tangled webs we weave when first we practice
to deceive.

These days the news media feels comfortable only when
they are
covering a major trial. That is because it is exciting to
some,

be to give all that up.

Give a man a fish and you have fed him for a
day. Teach him
how
to fish and you have fed him for life. Give a fish a vote and
he
will
say to give the man just the one fish, preferably one that is already
dead.
-- Mark Leeper
The problem with turning 50 is that dying is about
the only thing
left that people can be surprised that you did so young.
-- Mark Leeper
The greatest political opportunist of all time has to
be God.
Somehow
He always manages to say just exactly what His audience is predisposed
to
believe.
-- Mark Leeper
Those who forget history are condemned to repeat
it. Those
who trust history are condemned to be misled by it. Nothing
happens the same way twice.
-- Mark Leeper
[On hearing Freeman Dyson speak...] A sufficently
visionary
scientist
is indistinguishable from a crackpot.
