"There are different kinds of truths
for different kinds of people.
There are truths appropriate for children,
like the people who watch Fox News.
There are truths that are appropriate for college dropouts,
like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.
There are truths that are appropriate for educated adults,
like my son, Dr. William Kristol.
There are truths that are appropriate for
highly educated adults,
like me.
The notion that there should be one set of truths
available to everyone is a modern democratic fallacy.
It doesn't work.
Nor do I anymore.
I just died."

is his mission to expose to public view all the
Nine-Twelvers, Tenthers, Birthers, Truthers,
Tea Partiers, and Teabaggers who constitute about
one-fourth of the population of the United States.
And then to laugh at them for the next 1,000 years.

to put up a scary headline about the white guy in
Georgia arrested for beating an African-American
female soldier in front of her 7-year-old daughter
inside a Cracker Barrel restaurant?

Richard Keith 'Dick' Armey holds a Ph.D. in
economics from the University of Oklahoma
and taught economics at North Texas State
University--now UNT--for a number of years
before being elected to the U. S. House of
Representatives in 1984. What set him
apart as a professor of economics was
his use of shadow animals to illustrate
his Texomaesque interpretation of the
theories of Milton Friedman.
