“Doctor, I want you to make it known to your government that it can trust us implicitly, for we do not want any of your territory. We only want your trade.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
