    America's Greatest Marxist

    By William K. Wolfrum on Fri, 01/07/2011 - 8:30am | Politics, Humor & Satire

    Groucho always knew the score …

    • "A hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running."
    • "I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book."
    • "I read in the newspapers they are going to have 30 minutes of intellectual stuff on television every Monday from 7:30 to 8. to educate America. They couldn’t educate America if they started at 6:30."
    • "Military justice is to justice what military music is to music."
    • "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies."

    Wolfie!  You're back!  This is funny.  Except for that last one.  That's depressing.

    Depressing, but a true observation.

    That's not funny.

    I was referring to the last one on the post, before the link. about politics looking for a problem and the solution wrong. Was that the one you were referring to?  

    I don't find the other, last one funny. About Woman

    "Military justice is to justice what military music is to music."

    That one is a bit of a mindfunk, if I say so myself. According to my local classical music station, there is quite a large demand for military music.

    And plenty of demand for military justice too--however, it is in short supply and the demand is not satisfied...

    I just want to know if it is true that Mr. Seaton dresses up on women's clothes on Thursdays.

    I treasure Groucho's memory (at the risk of dating myself, I actually witnessed more than one episonde of You Bet Your Life...) and am gobsmacked to learn that the military justice thingee was his--it is, of course, famously true.I
