Timing, perseverance, and ten years of trying will eventually make you look like an overnight success. Surrounding yourself with smart people you like to work with helps immeasurably. We’ve got a long road ahead and I’m looking forward to another ten years.

She has, for example, called for the elimination of the Energy Department and the Environmental Protection Agency, denounced the BP compensation fund for victims of the oil spill as a slush fund, and suggested that her candidacy was a mission for God.
Tea Party Choice, Sharron Angle, Scrambles in Taking on Harry Reid
It’s a strange political environment right now. Republicans are going to win a lot of elections in November, and that should mean that as a party, they get more moderate, right? It’s the same problem the Democrats suffer from now: they have a broad coalition that includes representatives and senators from conservative districts, so liberal ideas like, say, including a public option in the health care bill tend to be dead on arrival.
It seems like the opposite could be true this time. Republicans will make gains, but their caucus could very well be more conservative, not less, because there will be so many of these tea partiers around. Weird.
The phrase: Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door.
…is bullshit. It’s more like:
Build a better mousetrap… and then blog and create videos about it and hope that the Mousetrap Store features it … and just maybe the world will beat a path to your door.
Author Christopher Hitchens discusses his memoir ‘Hitch-22’ and his battle with esophageal cancer
Very sad to see Hitchens in such a state of physical deterioration.
I don’t think anybody can know exactly what the impact of these taxes is on G.D.P. We put them through econometric models that have a very poor record forecasting recession. Conclusions based on such models must be suspect.
In whatever kind of a “race” life may be, I have very abruptly become a finalist.
