Quote of the Day

from Steven Hayward @ powerline.com:

Well, how to begin?  What’s on your mind this week?  Perhaps we should start with H.L. Mencken, who once wrote that democracy is the theory that the people know what they want—and deserve to get it good and hard.

Or as New York Mayor Ed Koch put it, “The people have spoken . . . and they must be punished.”  I think that’s just been arranged.
