If you water it and it dies, it's a plant. If you pull it out and it grows back, it's a weed.

Here's a few from my collection:
Men are most apt to believe what they least understand.
A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.
Nothing is ever accomplished by a reasonable man.
Politicians are like diapers--they should be changed often, and for the same reason.
It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
An era can be said to end when its basic illusions are exhausted.
The worst government is the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression. (H.L. Mencken)

Overheard at the store:
Honey, I respect your opinion. I just don't want to hear it.
Stockticker, those are great. Especially the politicians are like diapers. LOL
Antiquary, I found a little pepper plant that had seeded in the garden day before yesterday. I dug it up so carefully, potted it, thinking it might give us a few fresh peppers this winter.
It's a plant, not a weed.
You have the right to an informed opinion

George W. is not alone.
"For seven and a half years I've worked alongside President Reagan. We've had triumphs. Made some mistakes. We've had some sex ... uh...setbacks."
-- George Bush, former President of the United States of America
"This is a great day for France!"
-- Richard Nixon, while attending Charles De Gaulle's funeral
"My fellow Americans, I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."

I saw that Sweetpotato! yes it usually is ALL my fault, even when it isn't, I get blamed for it... I'm innocent, I swear, but no one believes me...
On a more serious note, I love this quote:

I didn't have the time to catch up on this thread until now, I must have been busy being bad somehow

A good mouth-filling oath.
-- Shakespeare from King Henry IV
I'm preparing for the Moderator duties.
snowy, with the long warm fall, I had a few plants re-seeding here too, herbs and flowers, though I wasn't as dedicated as you, and left them to their elemental fate. The pepper should do well enough inside. I still have tomatoes inside slowly ripening, maybe lasting another couple of weeks. I think that I'll plant less next year and maybe spend more time here at the boat house and fishing the lake now that I can get around well enough..... I think.

More political quotes:
I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting. (Ronald Reagan)
People vote their resentment, not their appreciation. The average man does not vote for anything, but against something. (William Bennett Munro)
You can judge a leader by the size of the problems he tackles- people nearly always pick a problem their own size, and ignore or leave to others the bigger or smaller ones. (Anthony Jay)
The test of tolerance comes when we are in a majority; the test of courage comes when we are in a minority. (Dr. Ralph W. Sockman)
I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent enforcement. (Ulysses S. Grant)
Those who give up liberty in order to attain security will soon find that they have neither. (Benjamin Franklin)

Her infinite variety.

In politics... shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.
Our elections are free - it's in the results where eventually we pay.
Congress is a strange place. A man gets up to speak. He says nothing. Nobody listens. Then everybody disagrees.
If you can't convince them, confuse them. (Harry S Truman)
If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read: PRESIDENT CAN'T SWIM. (Lyndon B. Johnson)
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. (Abraham Lincoln)
The best minds are not in government. If they were, business would hire them away. (Ronald Reagan)
Politics I supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. (Ronald Reagan)
