GREAT TRUTH: In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress......John AdamsStupid trick of the week. Candy, shaped like marijuana, is now showing up on store shelves throughout the county. Is it any wonder that anti-drug activists are alarmed? And remember when we were kids and we could buy candy cigarettes? That was stupid also.GREAT TRUTH: Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But then I repeat myself......Mark TwainWith the Yankees and Phillies out of the picture, ratings for the baseball playoffs have to be way down. That's a shame, because fans are missing some good baseball.GREAT TRUTH: I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle......Winston ChurchillThe Eagles, at 1-4, have to win nine out of their last 11 games to have a realistic shot at making the NFL playoffs.

Now we know why. The city's Economic Development Corporation says the American League Championship Series could bring a windfall of $12.6 million to the city for each game. The World Series would bring in $20 million for each game. New Yorkers can thank the Detroit Tigers for that not happening. And Phillies' fans can thank those guys in St. Louis.GREAT TRUTH: Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else......Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801-1850)The best animated movie ever was Shrek.GREAT TRUTH: Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it.

As the talks progress with no solution in sight, the entire season is in jeapardy. Know who I feel sorry for?
