It takes the average Kentuckian only a matter of moments to dispose of the weather and personal helath, but he never tires of a political discussion.”
    —For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.”
    —Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
