Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge where there is no river.

Kim Campbell, the first female prime minister of Canada, was right when she said a 47-day-long election campaign (Imagine a campaign of only 47 days!) was not enough time to reconsider the nation’s social programs. But she was wrong to say so.

I hate careless flattery, the kind that exhausts you in your effort to believe it.
