Insight: "We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle." —Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Upright: "We saw this at Occupy Wall Street; we saw this in Black Lives Matter. Heck, you can go back to the anti-war protests and the WTO protests in Seattle.

Braying Jenny: "Yes, I get paid a lot less than my colleagues. I don't complain. I'm not going to whine about it. It's like being born a slave. It's like, 'Aw, damn, darn my luck.' You know? I wish I was born somewhere else or maybe some other way, but it is what it is." —actress Michelle Rodriguez

Non Compos Mentis: "If [Christians] really did as they claim to do, they would quickly see that Jesus must be, by their own exegetical rules, the first transgender male. ... In his person, and in his salvific actions, Jesus is truly the first and forever trans man." —Suzanne DeWitt Hall in The Huffington Post

Late-night humor: "The White House went into lockdown ... after several balloons drifted onto the property. Even worse, Bernie Sanders' house was attached to them." —Seth Meyers
