"A politician is just like a plumber. When you need someone to take care of your plumbing, you get a plumber. When you need someone to take care of politics, you get a politician. Both do a service that we really need them to do, but if you watch too closely when they do their jobs, you get grossed out, because they have greasy, dirty jobs. ... We do need to be real about what this job is and remember that we're not hiring a saint. We're hiring the nation's new plumber." —Jay Smooth
I know I've linked to him before, but seriously, Jay Smooth is my hero. Brilliantly snarky people are a dime a dozen, but precious few are those who can be brilliantly snarky in such an un-hostile way. He almost makes me want to take up video blogging. Almost.
Edit: whenever I take random multi-week-long hiatuses (hiati?) from this blog, keep this in mind.
