"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
A Homage To Counterfeiters Everywhere
"Forget mulling over the Republican gains or tomorrow's employment number - $600,000,000,000 is even now still a boatload of money and it makes me think of my dear, departed Uncle Louie. In his time (during the 1920s and 1930s) he was a rather well-known counterfeiter on the Lower East Side and kept my family in bread during some hard times and, it must be admitted, some rather not hard times. He was good at what he did, and enjoyed it."
