Quote du jour

World War II: the most horrible and most interesting thing that ever happened. I think of our men fighting in jungles and being machine-gunned and shelled at Bastogne. I cannot ever express my gratitude to the men and women who fought in that war — Norman Lear, Peter Flanigan, David Scull, Jim Bellows, and about 15 million others. God has been unbelievably good to people like me, who were born in late 1944. Our lifetime was the peak of human civilization.

Now it’s rapidly downhill.

-Ben Stein
