It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.

H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)

Good ol' H. L. Mencken, the sage of Baltimore!

How appropriate for my wife to quote him here on this site which is based at Johns Hopkins University in the city of the sage.

At the risk of inflaming any Republicans/Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld nationalists who happen by, I will offer a further Mencken quotation:

"Nobody ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American People."
