A quotation from Molly Ivins

I do not believe the President’s sex life is any of our business. After thirty years of political reporting, I have been unable to establish a link between marital fidelity and high performance in public office. It really doesn’t matter who they screw in private, as long as they don’t screw the public.

Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
Essay (1998-03), “A Dodge Too Far,” The Progressive, Vol. 62, No. 3

A quotation from Twain

Custom is custom; it is built of brass, boiler iron, granite; facts, reasonings, arguments have no more effect upon it than the idle winds have upon Gibraltar.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
Essay (1906), “The Gorky Incident,” Letters from the Earth (c. 1909; pub. 1962) [ed. DeVoto (1939)]

Mark Twain quote about custom

(The FBI and media covered up corruption of JFK.)

"Few presidents have been as lionized and are as iconoclastic as John Fitzgerald Kennedy. But let’s examine the details of JFK’s presidential life, his controversies and the deals that were made to keep his most egregious personal actions secret and out of the public view which could have led to his impeachment. Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production."
