As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

--H.L. Mencken, 1920

I'm not sure exactly when the content shortage ended though. Last year? A hundred years ago? But I like the quote

Never stay up late for something you wouldn't get up early for.

Today I Learned:

In 1914, John Basil Barnhill said in a series of debates on socialism, "Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty."

I always see this attributed to Thomas Jefferson, but I looked it up before quoting it in the AI Bubble Crystal Ball thread and it turns out that if Jefferson did say it, it first appeared in print attributed to Jefferson in 1994.
