    Abe Lincoln, again

    As a certain circus owner once put it: "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can fool all of the people all of the time." (I paraphrase)

    -- Iokannan in the Well

    Hee hee. Abraham Lincoln said that. "A certain circus owner" once said "A sucker is born every minute." Which is also appropriate in explaining why Hume is still considered a real journalist.
