Strike While the Iron’s Hot

“Now is the best time to restore constitutional governance. One of the reasons why we have an apocalyptic debt crisis in America is a lack of adherence to our Constitution. One of the reasons why we have trillion dollars of deficits is because we have not adhered to our Constitution.” —Allen West

And Last

“As farewell speeches go, that was not a farewell speech. It was a fare the hell off speech, telling people that if you don’t appreciate Joe Biden, the real problem is you.” —Ben Domenech
