Mark Twain musta been prescient...

Friend of mine sent me these so thought I'd share a couple which seemed apropos. F'rinstance...

Don't say 'the old lady screamed'. Bring her on and let her scream.

This would seem to fit Congress and the GOP's Filibuster Follies, would it not?

1. He was prescient on a lot of things.

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.

In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then he made School Boards.

Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain't that a big enough majority in any town?

There are two kinds of Christian morals, one private and the other public. These two are so distinct, so unrelated, that they are no more akin to each other than are archangles and politicans. During three hundred and sixty-three days in the year the American citizen is true to his Christian private morals, and keeps undefiled the nation's character at its best and highest; then in the other two days of the year he leaves his Christian private morals at home and carries his Christian public morals to the tax office and the polls, and does the best he can to damage and undo his whole year's faithful and righteous work.

I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man's reasoning powers are not above the monkey's.
