Thursday Short Cuts

Insight: “A good teacher must know the rules; a good pupil, the exceptions.” —Martin H. Fischer (1879-1962)

Upright: “You can bet that the men and women that we honor today and those who died that fateful morning 75 years ago never took a knee and never failed to stand when they heard our national anthem being played.” —Navy Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr.

For the record: “Obama disappeared from our collective television screens, replaced by unpopular candidates Clinton and Trump, who slung mud at each other and stole the limelight. As a result, Obama discovered that the abstract idea of a lame-duck Obama was more popular than the cold reality of eight-year President Obama. He wisely adjusted by rarely being heard from or seen for much of 2016. So Obama now departs amid the ruin of the Democratic Party into a lucrative post-presidency: detached and without a legacy.” —Victor Davis Hanson

No, really, she said that: “[Republicans want] a trillion dollars over 10 years taken out of Medicaid. Two thirds of that goes to long-term heath care for our seniors. They won’t be able to go to their own doctor if you take this away.” —Nancy Pelosi (Says the women who peddled the lie that Americans can keep their doctor under ObamaCare.)

Alpha Jackass: “I don’t think the Democratic Party is in that big of trouble. I mean, if Comey kept his mouth shut, we would have picked up a couple more Senate seats and we probably would have elected Hillary.” —Harry Reid

Non Compos Mentis: “[P]eople walk around and they reprogram these [voting] machines and use, like, a floppy disk.” —Jill Stein (Yes, and they’re probably conspiring over telegram, too!)

And last… “If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you do read it, you’re misinformed.” —Denzel Washington
