Friday Short Cuts

Insight: “We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.” —Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)

For the record: “Hillary has been stumbling badly in the presidential race, in part over questions about the Clinton Foundation. So what are the Clintons doing? Throwing a big Clinton Foundation birthday party for Bill.” —Rich Lowry

Belly laugh of the week, Part I: “I think I’ve worked very, very hard to be more transparent than not just my opponent, but in a comparison to anybody’s who’s run.” —Hillary Clinton

Belly laugh of the week, Part II: “For five years, [Donald Trump] has led the birther movement to delegitimize our first black president. His campaign was founded on this outrageous lie. There is no erasing it in history.” —Hillary Clinton (You mean he can’t wipe it with a cloth or something?)

Non Compos Mentis: “When it comes to public service, I’m better at the service part than the public part.” —Hillary Clinton

Science or silence? “The debate on science and the debate on politics as far as climate change is concerned is over. Still, the Republican Party, they are not convinced. There should be no political consideration on this. There should be no room for politics to get involved.” —UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon

Priorities: “[John Kerry] has elevated the profile of climate change, ocean protection to the point where we have conversations about this not just in the Oval Office, but in the Situation Room.” —Barack Obama

And last… “We are encouraged to emulate the enlightened policies of Sweden, where paid family leave is very generous. … The progressive utopias of Scandinavia (or here, as it seems we’re headed in the same direction) can fiddle with subsidies and bonuses all they want, but they will continue to bash their heads against a fundamental reality: Women enjoy being with their babies and will choose to spend their time that way if they possibly can. Fathers make irreplaceable contributions to child rearing, but not in the form of nursing infants. There, was that so hard?” —Mona Charen
