If these are amusing to others I will make an effort to post one every once in a while. Sorry in advance to the rest of the world. My quotes will be US political only.

“When I was growing up in Texas, we had a cow named Bessie. I’d get her in the stanchion, seat myself, and squeeze out a bail of fresh milk. One day, I’d worked hard and gotten a full pail of milk, but I wasn’t paying attention and old Bessie swung her fluff-smeared tail through that bucket of milk. Now, you know, that’s what these intelligence guys do. You work hard and get a good program or policy going, and they swing a fluff-smeared tail through it.” - Lyndon Johnson
