Best quote of the week is 50 years old

An article by Spoko on Hullabaloo web site brought to mind the 1960s pretend presidential candidacy of comedian Pat Paulson.     Somewhat like Stephen Colbert today, Paulson made people think about serious issues by pretending to take positions that were loaded with double meaning.

The Pat Paulson's campaign slogan was

"We Can't Stand Pat!"

And one of his best quotes was:

"All the problems we face in the United States today can be traced to an unenlightened immigration policy on the part of the American Indian."

Now that was fun -- as well as thought-provoking.   Instead, today, instead, we have clowns who are actually running, taking places in polls and debate stages, by appealing to ignorance, prejudice, and greed.
