Quote of the Day: Arizona Trail Association

What can be accomplished without government funds... 

Citizen involvement

Thanks to the nearly 27,000 people who went online to vote, the Arizona Trail Association has won a $50,000 grant for trail improvements in Pinal County.

"[The] trail there now runs down along an old pipeline road. It's very straight, it's not very scenic," said Dave Hicks, executive director of the Arizona Trail Association.

Government funds for trail maintenance has been non-existent since the economic downturn, Hicks said. "This boost from a private source is a nice shot in the arm," he said.

IMHO: Leaders Lacking Imagination

We're being led by Duds and Clods...

You know what really terrorizes me? The enemy within.

They're the people of influence in the Northeast power corridor, especially in New York and the Beltway of DC, that really are not driven by any belief system they are smart enough to understand, even at the basest level. They truly are stupid, unimaginative dull thinkers, far more than we have recognized, and we have placed too much faith and given far too much credit and influence to them in the political class and corporate sector.

I'd rather have a smart enemy than self-interested cunning dullards at the helm. At least you know how to counter with a smarter defense, it's difficult to argue with minds comprised of muddy waters.

Quote of the Day: Timothy Geithner

Thanks, but we tried you're idea and it hasn't worked...


Smart people learn from their mistakes, not stubbornly repeat them. 

"If the government does nothing going forward, then the impact of policy in Washington will shift from supporting economic growth to hurting economic growth," Mr. Geithner said during an interview with the Wall Street Journal in the U.S. Treasury office, citing the example of countries who "shift too quickly to premature restraint" after a crisis, including the U.S in the 1930s.

IMHO: Lame Duck President

It's even worse than we thought...

There is now a whole new meaning to the word "lame" in the expression: "Lame Duck President."
