Humor is a social lubricant that helps us get over some of the bad spots.
Radio is the theater of the mind; television is the theater of the mindless.
If the Old Testament were a reliable guide in the matter of capital punishment, half the people in the United States would have to be killed.
In a rational society we would want our presidents to be teachers. In our actual society we insist they be cheerleaders.
