The Quote of the Day comes from Lyle blogging at Joe Huffman’s place:

Make no mistake.  We’re being offered what amounts to a plea deal.  Either we take the deal (vote Republican) or we’re sentenced to another four years with a Democrat in office.

I’ve been looking for a way to put that for a while. Well done, sir.

Today’s quote of the day is from JayG, in regards to the latest .Gov silliness that thinks it can legislate away danger.

Is life. Is not safe.

I’m going to have a t-shirt made with that.

…comes to us from Larry Correia at MHI:

Newt Gingrich once said that FDR was his favorite president of the twentieth century, and perhaps of all American history. Newt says he is conservative, so that be would like somebody saying they are Christian, but their favorite angel is Lucifer.

Larry’s error is that FDR was, in fact, Lucifer.

As an aside, if you don’t read Larry’s books, you suck and no one loves you.

Today’s quote of the day comes from my brother, on the Westboro Baptist Church:

“…they’re just flesh-encased internet trolls.”

I laughed and laughed. And thought of the trolls in Monster Hunter Vendetta.

“If I had a visa to anywhere, I’d join them. But that’s not going to happen. Right now, I’d settle for a gun, but I can’t even find one of those.”

Fox and Friends provides our QOTD:

We can absorb another terrorist attack…
B. Obama, on the possibility of another terrorist attack

How can a President of the United States say something like that, like he is a detached observer who doesn’t care about the American people?
John “The ‘Stache” Bolton, on B. Obama on the possibility of another terrorist attack

Um….because he is a detached observer who doesn’t care about the American people?

Via JayG:

“Deadly situations can happen in the blink of an eye,” she said. “If you are not proactive … you are a vulnerable target.”

Today’s quote of the day is from Borepatch:

Massachusetts State Motto: “Guns? ICK!”

Silly, yes, but it made milk come out of my nose. Thanks, BP!  Oh, yeah, and there was something relevant and poignant about tyranny.  Whatever.

QOTD is from Breda, on the use of the term “racist”:

This sort of thing has happened frequently enough that the epithet has lost all its sting. I see it now for what it is, a knee-jerk reaction to some perceived slight combined with a lack of better vocabulary.

I’ve often said that when someone calls you a racist, the appropriate response is to laugh.  Anything else just perpetuates the behavior.  And I think the term has sort of become the equivalent of “the N word” or calling someone a fascist or “commie”: semantically null and without meaning.

A few years ago, my wife was teaching in the South Bronx.  She had a parent complain to the principal that “Mrs. Newbie” was not being fair to her son, and perhaps it was racially motivated.  She went to sit down with the principal and the parent.  She ran into the mother of one of her former students, who said “Hello, Miss. Maidenname” (We had gotten married in the meantime and she had changed her name.) They had a bit of a chat, and then the both of them walk into the principals office.  Mother turns to her son, slaps him upside the head and says “Boy, you are in a lot of trouble.  You didn’t tell me it was Miss Maidenname!”  Seems the mom didn’t realize that my wife was the one she was accusing of racism.  Needless to say, it went nowhere.

So the moral of the story…develop more creative insults.  And laugh if you are accused of racism.
