Check wisdom at it's very best [on politics].

Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity.

I like the quote that Joe Kennedy told his son John: "Only buy enough votes that you need to win and ot one more."

[ABEHONEST]

Yes, he was a bit of a scoundrel, wasn't he? And, do you wonder why his son's, all decent chaps, I suppose, had so much trouble staying away from women they weren't married to? Like father like son.

That mini-serious was great entertainment. 2011, I believe?
