Quote of the Day

Bitter ironist H. L. Mencken, writing on the subject of democracy, as found at BrainyQuote.

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

California primary voters just proved the truth of Mencken's maxim. They want the heaven Hugo Chavez promised Venezuela, but will get the hell Chavez delivered to his forlorn nation.
