Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.  ~Plato
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.  ~Ernest Benn
The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn.  The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.  ~P.J. O'Rourke
"I actually held public office and I left the only way a politician should, in handcuffs." ~ Chael Sonnen
It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it! ~ Upton Sinclair

Eh, as long as it's open...

Something interesting that popped up on one of my tumbler accounts:

"Except you can’t show a topless woman on TV - and you can’t defibrillate a woman in a bra. So victims of heart attacks on TV are *always* male. Did you know that a woman having a heart attack is more likely to have back or jaw pain than chest or left arm pain? I didn’t - because I’ve never seen a woman having a heart attack. I’ve been trained in CPR and Advanced First Aid by the Red Cross over 15 times in my life, the videos and booklets always have a guy and say the same thing about clutching his chest and/or bicep. 

And people laugh when I tell them women are still invisible in this world."



[article the tumbler pulled from Sorry, misattribution, relevant article, not sure about original source]
Kinda reminds me of the good ol' days when medical textbooks were all male and would have a footnote "oh yeah, this stuff totally applies to women too".  This led to doctors having trouble with female patients 'cause things weren't quite in the same spot.  Guess in some ways we're still stuck in the 1800s, no?


Edit: attribution

A wild EscherEnigma appears!

He looks on with disapproval.

ITS SUPER EFFECTIVE!
