Quote of the Day

“Madam President, I’ll come home tonight … and there’ll be some mail there. A lot of it is what some people refer to as junk mail, but for the people who are sending that mail, it’s very important. And when talking about seniors, seniors love getting junk mail. It’s sometimes their only way of communicating or feeling like they’re part of the real world.” — Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), singing the praises of the bulk-rate crap that clogs our mailboxes … and ultimately our recycling bins. What a lovely thought: In 15 years, the highlight of my day will be to receive a Vons circular.
