Sarah came by the house tonight and while we were goofing around on the internet, I ran across a website that made me laugh like I haven't in a very, VERY long time. I share some of these with you tonight with the hopes that it relieves you of your cares and concerns for a little while.
Enjoy my tribute to the greatest orator since Mark Twain.

"Thank you, your Holiness. Awesome speech."
"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test."
"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"
"The most important job is not to be governor, or first lady in my case."
"I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves."
"I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well."

"I understand small business growth. I was one."
"I believe the results of focusing our attention and energy on teaching children to read and having an education system that's responsive to the child and to the parents, as opposed to mired in a system that refuses to change, will make America what we want it to be -- a more literate country and a hopefuller country."
"The administration I'll bring is a group of men and women who are focused on what's best for America, honest men and women, decent men and women, women who will see service to our country as a great privilege and who will not stain the house."
