The experiences of the nursery, the school, the University, and of professional careers, are a chain of proofs to the contrary.”

“One Blue Dog Democratic House Member reminded me earlier this month of the saying that 'insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.' He wondered if his fellow Members weren't more in need of advice from psychiatrists than from economists at this point.”
