“This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.”
– Will Rogers
2.) “I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.”
– Will Rogers
It is fascinating to me how Rogers’ quips, written in the early 1900’s, resonate so soundly today. His biting wisdom and humor held both Republican and Democrat feet to his sarcastic fire when he felt they deserved it, which was often.
3.) “Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.”
– Will Rogers
How appropriate for today! Think of the influence that John Stewart and Bill Maher (comedians) have on the voting public.
