gallows humor from the markets

from Friday: " there are two poistions one can have at the moment-- flat and fetal"

" This market crash is worse than my first divorce, I have lost half my money and I still have a wife"

Your contributions to the Pithy comments collection have been great-- Keep them coming

'If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.'
- Mark Twain

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress.... But then I repeat myself.
- Mark Twain

No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
- Mark Twain (1866)

The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin.
- Mark Twain

There is no distinctly Native American criminal class...save Congress.
- Mark Twain

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. -Thomas Jefferson
Talk is cheap...except when Congress does it.
- Unknown
In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.
- Voltaire (1764)

Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
- P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian

Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
- Frederic Bastiat, Economist (1801-1850)

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
- Will Rogers


I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
- Winston Churchill

A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
- George Bernard Shaw

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
