Remember Henry Adam's jest that the succession of presidents from Washington to Grant disproved the theory of evolution?

Liberalism is wrong because it doesn't work. If a company is too big to fail, it is too big to exist.

Mitt Romney's losing at this point in a big way. If something's going to come out, get it out in a hurry. I do not know why - given that Mr. Romney knew the day that [Sen.
