No better time than to throw out some quotes by Will Rogers:

A fool and his money are soon elected.

About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation.

Alexander Hamilton started the U.S. Treasury with nothing, and that was the closest our country has ever been to being even.

An economist's guess is liable to be as good as anybody else's.

Anything important is never left to the vote of the people. We only get to vote on some man; we never get to vote on what he is to do.

Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.

Don't gamble;take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it.

Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.

I bet after seeing us, George Washington would sue us for calling him "father."

I don't know jokes; I just watch the government and report the facts.

If I studied all my life, I couldn't think up half the number of funny things passed in one session of congress.

If you make any money, the government shoves you in the creek once a year with it in your pockets, and all that don't get wet you can keep.

It's easy being a humorist when you've got the whole government working for you.

Make crime pay. Become a lawyer.

Now if there is one thing that we do worse than any other nation, it is try and manage somebody else's affairs.

On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.

Our constitution protects aliens, drunks and U.S. Senators.

Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.

The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.

The man with the best job in the country is the vice-president. All he has to do is get up every morning and say, "How is the president?"

The more you observe politics, the more you've got to admit that each party is worse than the other.

The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.

There is no more independence in politics than there is in jail.

Things in our country run in spite of government, not by aid of it.

This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
