Best Quote of the Day
- "It should be your care, therefore, and mine, to elevate the minds of our children and exalt their courage; to accelerate and animate their industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue. If we suffer their minds to grovel and creep in infancy, they will grovel all their lives." -- John Adams, Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law, 1756
- "Citizens by birth or choice of a common country, that country has the right to concentrate your affections. The name AMERICANS, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism." --George Washington, "Farewell Address," 1796
- "The first value whose existence is dependent upon positing God's existence is morality. If there is no God, there are no rights and wrongs that transcend personal preference......Without God, all we can have are opinions about morality, but our opinions about "good" and "evil" behavior are no more valid or binding than our opinions about "good" and "bad" ice cream. Dennis Prager & Joseph Telushkin
Dumbest Quote of the Day
- "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times… and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.
- "It will take a woman [to clean up the White House.] Bring your brooms!" Sen. Hillary Clinton....What? Women can't be corrupt? Isn't it against the rules for strong women to use brooms?
- "It seems overly presumptuous to attempt to instill particular beliefs in your childern." D. Kane

So funny, Kristina. I love the Onion too. Thanks for sharing.
I restrict what Wm is allowed to see and play but it is so difficult. Movies that could be made PG aren't. We are surrounded by the violence on TV, movies, games.
Thanks for the visit today, I enjoyed it!
Playing video games all day, alone and friendless, is simply the best way we have to prepare our children for a life of solitude and embarrassment.
Love it!
