Thus were born State Socialism and Anarchism.

On Warren G. Harding:

He writes the worst English I have ever encountered. It reminds me of a string of wet sponges; it reminds me of tattered washing on the line; it reminds me of stale bean soup, of college yells, of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights. It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it.

My reaction to creative capitalism as lauded by Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Michael Kinsley, and (somewhat to my surprise), Professor Glaeser of the Harvard Economics Department is a skeptical one. The embrace of massive corporate charity, the criticism of capitalism by its greatest beneficiaries, and the frequent resort by the advocates of creative capitalism to platitudes (such as: the world is getting better, but not fast enough and not for everyone ; today's miracles of technology only benefit those who can afford them ; economic demand is not the same as economic need), along with the vagueness of the term itself, leave me with an uncomfortable feeling.

I knew Earl Warren very well, on a somewhat professional basis. Professional, as in I was a nine-year-old page boy and he was the Governor. We knew his children and played in the Governor's Mansion and so forth.

I'm very proud of the fact that I knew well someone who later became the Chief Justice of the United States.

It took me a long time to realise that I didn't understand things as well as I thought I did.

You're a dead man, Kyle said. Warren doesn't take kindly to people who hurt me.

Patricia Briggs

Look, you know i don't wanna come on ungrateful, but that warren report, you know as well as me, just didn't make it. You know, like they might as well have asked some banana salesman from des moines, who was up in toronto on the big day, if he saw anyone around looking suspicious/...
