o, politics! o, pshaw!
It’s George Bernard Shaw’s birthday (b. July 26, 1856). If George were covering the political conventions this week and next month, I bet he’d toss a few pointed barbs. We’ve complied some of our favorite Shaw quotations for you here.
For example:
“He knows nothing; and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.”
“Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.”
p.s. Speaking of famous quipsters, where is our paronomastic Fool?
