11/11/2025 “BACK ON LINE ONCE AGAIN”   Leave a comment

It’s been a miserable few days trying to get my systems back into operation. After four days I can finally return to the blog. It will probably take me another few weeks before things return to abnormal. This post will concern quotes from prominent people about politics. It seems to be all the rage nowadays so I decided to get on board with all of the other wackos. Here goes nothing . . .

My Quote of the Day

“Technology is a queer thing. It brings you

great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you

in the back with the other.”

(C. P. Snow)

“Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other.” Oscar Ameringer

“No man should be in public office who can’t make more money in private life.” Thomas Dewey

“The cardinal rule of politics – never get caught in bed with a live man or a dead woman.” J.R Ewing (Dallas)

“Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be President but they don’t want them to become politicians in the process.” John F. Kennedy

“One fifth of the people are against everything all the time.” Robert Kennedy

🤞🤞🤞

“Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even when there’s no river.” Nikita Krushchev

“Socialism is workable only in heaven, where it isn’t needed, and in hell, where they’ve got it.” Cecil Palmer

With Congress, every time they make a joke it’s a law, and every time they make a law, it’s a joke.” Will Rogers

“My choice early in life was to be either a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, There’s hardly any difference.” Harry Truman

“If God had been a liberal, we wouldn’t have had the Ten Commandments – we’d have the Ten Suggestions.” Malcolm Bradbury

👌👌👌

THANK GOD ONLY ONE OF THEM CAN WIN!

10/11/2021 Famous Last Words – Part II   Leave a comment

As I promised, here is part two of the “Famous Last Words” list. They don’t need any more of an introduction than that.

“Don’t worry… It’s not loaded…” Terry Kath, rock musician in the band Chicago Transit Authority as he put the gun he was cleaning to his head and pulled the trigger.

“Is someone hurt?” Robert F Kennedy, to his wife directly after he was shot and seconds before he fell into a coma.

“Die, my dear? Why that’s the last thing I’ll do!” Groucho Marx

“Go on, get out! Last words are for fools who haven’t said enough!” Karl Marx, asked by his housekeeper when his last words were to be

Now that we’ve laid all these so-called celebrities to rest we can move on with our lives. If any of you come up with any epithets or last-words to celebrate your own death, let me know. I have a another post on this subject coming in the near future and I could add yours to the list.
