A Quote for John Kerry to Consider

Surfing around, today, I stopped by Samizdata, a conglomeration of individuals who term themselves, "a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property." Anyway, Alice Bachini, in a Samizdata post, comments on, what is supposed to be, for John Kerry, an astute criticism regarding Bush’s handling of the situation in Iraq.

Kerry’s comment.

"With all due respect to the president, has he turned on the evening news lately? Does he read the newspapers?” Kerry said. “Does he really know what’s happening? Is he talking about the same war that the rest of us are talking about?"

Well, Mr. Kerry, I suggest you consider the following quote, from H.L. Mencken, before you start formulating policy based on what is being said on the teevee and in the newspapers.

"A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier."

H.L. Mencken, A Mencken Chrestomathy, Sententiae, This and That, pg. 674
