John Kelly vs Chris Wallace

I love this.

Watching Fox New Sunday, Chris Wallace started his usual 'Lightening Round'. Gave Kelly his ground rules, then asked Kelly if he was going to implement a restriction on electronic devices coming in and out for the country on airlines. Kelly's deadpan answer? "Maybe". Wallace wouldn't/couldn't leave it at that and asked for a more expanded answer. The next 4 questions he answered in a similar 1-5 word answer, just like he was asked to and in all instances Wallace asked for more detail.

I guess he really didn't want a short answer after all.

"Silent Cal" Coolidge was asked once what the pastor preached about at church one Sunday:

"Sin," replied Cal

"Well what did he say about it Mr. President?"

"He was against it," said Cal

"And gentlemen in England now abed, shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day"

There is also the story about the newspaper reporter who told President Coolidge that he had a bet with other reporters, betting that he (the reporter) could get the president to say more than three words.

Coolidge responded, "You lose."

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown
