“The (Supreme Court) ruling that anyone who's arrested -- even accidentally -- can be strip-searched was decided five to four, with the votes for the searches coming from the Court's five conservatives. You know -- the 'defending personal liberty' guys. Which is weird because I'm not a constitutional scholar, but I'm willing to bet Big Government feels it's biggest when it's inside your anus.” KnowsFeelsBigsGovernmentGuyLibertyFiveFourWillingDecidedVoteCourtSupremeScholarSupreme CourtRulingArrestedBig GovernmentPersonal LibertyAnus Author:Jon Stewart

“When you're running for president, you're a guest in the living room for four years.

“Widows are more skillful anglers for husbands than spinsters, and many marry several times. This is a social injustice to spinsters. "One man one woman," is surely as fair a cry as "One man one vote." As there is scarcely one man for each woman, what right has one woman to two, three, or four men in succession? She may reply, "By the right of conquest." But, then, is she not reducing others to unhappy courses or to become old maids?... Society, for the interests of all, should discourage the remarriage of widows.” MenShouldMayTwoThreeCoursesSocialInterestFourCryHusbandFairsVoteInjusticeUnhappyOne ManConquestReducingDiscouragingSuccessionWidowsMaidsOne WomanSkillfulSocial InjusticeAnglersSpinstersOld MaidsRemarriage Author:Tennessee Celeste Claflin
“In 1856...I preferred the success of a candidate whose election would prevent or postpone secession, to seeing the country plunged into a war the end of which no man could foretell. With a Democrat elected by the unanimous vote of the Slave States, there could be no pretext for secession for four years.... I therefore voted for James Buchanan as President.” MenYearsWarEndsCountryStatesPresidentFourSeeingVoteElectionSlaveDemocratCandidatesFour YearsPretextSecession Author:Ulysses S. Grant
