In other words: A discussion of The Bush Administration
When people read about good people begetting good people
More on Senator Frist's stupid book: The fun reviews at Amazon
I begot what I was going to say..., February 3, 2004
Reviewer: A reader from Philadelphia, PA USA
Oh yeah...
If good people beget good people, do bad people beget bad people?
How can we tell bad people from good people?
These are some of the topics covered in this brilliant book by U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist, M.D..
The answer, Dr. Frist informs us, is that good people make lots and lots of money, while bad people work just as hard but make very little. We must stop these bad people from begetting before they beget more bad people.
That's where forced sterilization comes in. Pioneering experimentation done on adopted kittens led Dr. Frist to his conclusion that the cheapest, most cost-effective means of forced sterilization is execution. Frist executed dozens of cats, both good and bad, and these cats did not beget any more.
Now if we just execute bad people (we can identify them by their low incomes) they will not beget either!
Dr. Frist opens a door to a bright new American future!

I changed my name to Frist, February 2, 2004
Reviewer: A reader from Fort Leavenworth
This book was so good, I changed my name to Frist so I could say it was about me. I read the whole thing while waiting is the reception area for subpar medical service.

A bit egotistical, eh?, February 2, 2004
Reviewer: Cheryl, Rich & Jesse from Den of Iniquity
Do good people write books proclaiming that they themselves are "good people"? I guess, when you have such un-self-critical confidence in your own superiority, then you are free to invade "bad" countries on false pretenses, slash social programs for all the unfortunate "bad" people, and legislate to all the unwashed "bad" masses how they must conduct themselves in the privacy of their own homes. Self-righteous ideologues make very dangerous public-policy makers.
and on and on and on.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the
president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is
not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American people."
- Teddy Roosevelt
"Government has a final responsibility for the well-being of
its citizenship. If private cooperative endeavor fails to provide work
for willing hands and relief for the unfortunate, those suffering
hardship from no fault of their own have a right to call upon the
Government for aid; and a government worthy of its name must make
fitting response."
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions, but laws must and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
- Thomas Jefferson
"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home."
"All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain
degree."
- James Madison
"I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, in human liberty as the source of national action, in the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas. It is, I believe, the faith in our fellow citizens as individuals and as people that lies at the heart of the liberal faith. For liberalism is not so much a party creed or set of fixed platform promises as it is an attitude of mind and heart, a faith in man's ability through the experiences of his reason and judgment to increase for himself and his fellow men the amount of justice and freedom and brotherhood which all human life deserves."
- John F. Kennedy
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
