    Stupid and Amusing Quotes

    I thought I should start this thread, and please do NOT put someone else's posts here. Please do put government press releases or those from other sources of authority. My personal favourites recently have been...

    Khaled Kaaim, deputy Libyan foriegn minister on the UK's today programme:

    "I will give you a different version of the truth"

    Some muppet on Fox News:

    "Why can't we do a no fly zone on Bahrain?"

    I am not anti-American but this one always makes me laugh.

    As does this one from Georges Clemenceau "America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization"

    At Pat Tillman's funeral:

    Maria Shriver: "Pat, you are home. You are safe."

    John McCain: "You will see Pat again when a loving God reunites us all with our loved ones."

    Richard Tillman, brother of Pat:"Thank you for coming. Pat’s a f------ champion and always will be. Just make a mistake, he’d want me to say this. He’s not with God. He’s f------ dead. He’s not religious. So thanks for your thoughts, but he’s f------ dead."

    The "stupid" for the first two.

    To quote (this is not a stupid or amusing quote) Richard Dawkins from A Devil's Chaplain:
    ‘the Young Earth view is not just that it is false but that it is petty, small-minded, parochial, unimaginative, unpoetic and downright boring compared to the staggering, mind-expanding truth.’
