Quote of the Day

[I]n the abstract, we may envision an Olympian perfection of perfect beings in Washington doing the business of their employers, the people, but any of us who has ever been at a zoning meeting with our property at stake is aware of the urge to cut through all the pernicious bullshit and go straight to firearms.

-- David Mamet, in today's Village Voice article, Why I Am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal'
