Great Minds

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.”

What kind of minds sit around and make stupid jokes all day?

You Can't Handle the Truth

John Kenneth Galbraith said:

Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everybody gets busy on the proof. We associate truth with convenience. We also find highly acceptable what contributes most to self esteem. Therefore we adhere, as though to a raft, to those ideas which represent our understanding.

We all just got burned. Especially you, Luis.

Things I Heard

I heard this on WOAI today:

"Wesley Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison yesterday, one year for each of his 'Blade' movies."

On TNT's coverage of the NBA playoff last night I heard Tracy McGrady say:

"It's my fault. It's my fault we missed free throws. It's my fault we lost both games. Blame me. It's my fault we fouled to tie the game up. That's my fault. It's my fault they get easy layups. It's my fault we're not executing well on the offensive end. It's my fault a couple people in the stands ordered Heinekens and they got Budweiser. It's my fault. I'm sorry."

That's awesome. Good for McGrady. = )
