The Couric massacree is old oats - nice quotes of non-Sarah origin in a 
lengthy sidebar though, incl.

*"Under democracy, one party always devotes its chief energies to trying 
to prove that the other party is unfit to rule -- and both commonly 
succeed, and are right."
-- H. L. Mencken


**"Our youth now loves luxuries. They have bad manners, contempt for 
authority. They show disrespect for elders and they love to chatter 
instead of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants, of 
their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They 
contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up their food, 
and tyrannize their teachers."
-- Socrates


**"The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their 
neutrality in times of moral crisis."
-- Dante Alighieri

*"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth 
concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."
-- Louis D. Brandeis
*

*"Remember, Robin: evil is a pretty bad thing."
-- Batman


"Being evil is not a full-time job."
