Happy birthday to Mark Twain
Posted on November 30th, 2009 by Paul Davis
Today is Mark Twain’s birthday. He was born on November 30, 1835.
I just read an interesting piece on Mark Twain by Harold Witkov at the American Thinker.
Harold Witkov speculates on what Twain would be like if he were alive today. Since the American Congress is determined to shove socialized health care down our throats (and every other orifice), I offer what Twain wrote about the Congress:
Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
He also wrote the following:
There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.
Happy birthday to one of America’s greatest writers.
