From: Jamie Lawrence The point is that even if you think anyone with a viewpoint opposing yours is automatically stupid and not worth your time (and I don't think that too many of you are that bad off ;), aren't they at least worth using to further something you believe strongly in? It might do well to be careful in alienating potential allys by flip political jokes and comments. .........................................................

From a cartoon in the Wall Street Journal a couple of days ago: A couple are sitting on a park bench, and she says to him: "I'm sorry, Bernie, but my financial planner says you're a non-performing asset and should be dumped!"
