American Spectator, so probably H.L. Mencken wrote that.

He also wrote this: “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.”

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
