Quote of the Day: A Box

Thanks to Andrew Poag for pointing out the brilliance that is Doug Forrester.  He pens an Op-Ed in the Asbury Park Press telling Trenton to stop thinking outside the box.  And just in case you don't know what a box is, he takes time to explain the concept:
A box is a container with structure, usually with sides and a bottom, that constrains things, keeping them safe and in their place.
Uh yeah, ok.  Maybe he can line that box with this column.

Forrester '09: Put Government in a Box (4.00 / 1)
I have a question for Mr. Forrester.  He mentions the "founders" on three separate occasions.  Who are these people?  Our current Constitution only dates to 1947.  Does Mr. Forrester think we had no state prior to that time?

Or maybe he just has his head stuck somewhere dark, dank, and safe.


That box description (4.00 / 1)
is Bush-speak.

Bush did this all the time: Filling out his empty speeches with childish explanations, detailing things everyone in the room already understood. Then I started reading around the internet, he did this because that's the way people explained things to HIM.

One of the eight million things about Bush I won't miss.

As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.
