I thought this was meaningful, touching, and ironic.

Red Skelton's Pledge
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

Re: Red Skelton's Pledge
WoVeU...thanks for posting that video. I loved it and have shared it with several people. Red Skelton is a distant relative of mine....someone in my family had our geneology traced a few years back and found that out.
He was a very funny man. I own a DVD collection of his show. He had some great characters: Junior (who was famous for his expression, "I Dood It"), Clem Kadiddlehopper, Sheriff Deadeye, boxer Cauliflower McPugg, Willy Lump-Lump, and San Fernando Red.

You're welcome Doss.
Guys like Red, old school comedians, were really creative. Today's comedians lean on shock value, questionable cleanliness, and other things more. And the old stuff is still funny!

Good stuff.
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.
The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.
See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
