Today, being the end of January, I give you some thoughts to ponder as the state's budget is debated and the nation's politicians pretend to know what we are going through:

*DELIBERATION, n.  The act of examining one's bread to determine which

side it is buttered on.

*DISCUSSION, n.  A method of confirming others in their errors.

*CHIVALRY - A mans inclination to defend a woman against every man but himself.

*CONSCIENCE - That which hurts when everything else feels so good.

*VISE - Anything you enjoy that is bad for you.

*SIN - Anything the other fellow enjoys and you don't.

*PURITAN – AN INDIVIDUAL WHO SUSPECTS THAT SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE IS HAVING FUN.
