My Family Members Say Funny Things

Dad: "They're talking about putting Reagan's face on a dollar. I think they should put his face on a $100,000 bill, so only those who benefitted the most from his presidency will have them."

Younger Brother: "Ah, the '90s, when pyramid schemes worked and boy bands roamed the earth."

My Thoughts Exactly

From the Wall Street Journal:

What's missing at the U.N. is not another survey by another consulting firm, or another 90-page report, or another investigation which serves chiefly to pre-empt criticism while fixing not much. The basic flaws are simple: Anytime you create a large institution, accord it great privileges of secrecy, give it a big budget, and have it run by someone immune from any sane standard of accountability, you are likely to get a corrupt organization.

Interesting Morsel from Roger Simon Profile

This has really caught my attention:

At present he's also co-writing a screenplay with Michael Ledeen, a foreign-policy expert and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute who is also an NRO regular. Simon is keeping the project close to his vest, and will say only that it is a thriller related to the war on terror.

I'm going to keep track of this.
