Some Will Rogers quotes seem appropriate about now:
"Nothing makes a man, or a body of men, as mad as the truth. If there is no truth in it, they laugh it off."
It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so. (Think about that one.)
Last year we said, 'Things can't go on like this', and they didn't, they got worse.
Our constitution protects aliens, drunks and U.S. Senators.
What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds.
"If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone, 'America died from a delusion that she has moral leadership."

It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so. (Think about that one.) I have been attributing that to Mark Twain. Oh well, ....
Still, I am not sure Will would say isn't when ain't is more his style.
