"...White House will be adorned by a downright moron." "Check please!"

KO kills me!

Partial quote:
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. Menken, Baltimore Evening Sun, 26 July 1920

3. Went to a "memorial" at the local gradeschool
for my niece.

They sang patriotic songs and such...

At the end, some moron (or moran) decided to play John Phillip Sousa over the PA system.

A regular fourth of July...
