Some Things Never Change
1. A fool and his money are soon elected.
2. About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation
3. Alexander Hamilton started the U.S. Treasury with nothing, and that was the closest our country has ever been to being even. ( the beginning of private central banking and the death of Constitutional money )
4. Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate, now what's going to happen to us with both a House and a Senate?
5. And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em. You can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!
6. Anything important is never left to the vote of the people. We only get to vote on some man; we never get to vote on what he is to do.
7. Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.
8. Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.
9. I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.
10. I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
11. If I studied all my life, I couldn't think up half the number of funny things passed in one session of congress.
12. If you ever injected truth into politics you have no politics.
13. It's easy being a humorist when you've got the whole government working for you.
14. On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.
15. Our constitution protects aliens, drunks and U.S. Senators.
16. Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
17. Politics is applesauce.
18. The 1928 Republican Convention opened with a prayer. If the Lord can see His way clear to bless the Republican Party the way it's been carrying on, then the rest of us ought to get it without even asking.
19. The man with the best job in the country is the vice-president. All he has to do is get up every morning and say, "How is the president?"
20. The more you observe politics, the more you've got to admit that each party is worse than the other.
21. This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
