Serendipity

Showing up on the Google “Quotes of the Day” widget this morning, these back-to-back entries struck me as potentially relevant to the ongoing Democratic primary season.

Garrison Keillor, perhaps channeling Sen. Clinton on her chances to win the nomination: “I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it.”

Philip K. Dick, perhaps channeling the Obama campaign in response: “Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.”

    Pete,

    What? Surly you could find an apropos analogy for the last quote, too, (my personal favorite) – “I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.” – Hunter S. Thompson :)

    All three of today's quotes were good enough to 'borrow' and put in the “08quotes.txt” file on my desktop… Thanks for steering others to one of the best daily treats on the web.
