Quotation of the Day for November 30, 2016 "Mr. Trump should have laughed off the recount in Wisconsin as a quixotic waste of time from a defeated opponent. Instead, he is treating the matter as a personal affront. How, then, will he react if tensions rise in the South China sea, the Baltics or the Middle East? "It is as though we are all trapped in an abusive relationship with the next U.S. president." - John Ibbitson [http://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/the-two-sides-of-trump/article33083881/] Submitted by: Glenda Wall Nov. 28, 2016

Quotation of the Day for November 17, 2016 "But what we've learned so far about the least-experienced President-elect in history is as troubling and ominous as his critics have feared. The Greeks have a word for the emerging Trump Administration: kakistocracy. The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as a "government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens." Webster's is simpler: "government by the worst people." - Ryan Lizza, Washington correspondent for The New Yorker, in "Donald Trump's First, Alarming Week as President-Elect", November 16, 2016.

Quotation of the Day for November 9, 2016 "It's hard to be a parent tonight for a lot of us. You tell your kids, 'Don't be a bully.' You tell your kids, 'Don't be a bigot.' You tell your kids, 'Do your homework and be prepared.' Then you have this outcome, and you have people putting children to bed tonight and they're afraid of breakfast. They're afraid of, 'How do I explain this to my children?'" - Van Jones, CNN analyst, on Donald Trump's election victory. Submitted by: Mike Krawchuk Nov. 9, 2016

Quotation of the Day for November 5, 2016 "I recently offered to tutor Donald Trump on nuclear matters. To put things clearly, I went on his website and in the place where you could send comments, I began mine by saying that on these things he did not seem to know his ass from a wheel. I felt that as a person who seems to like straight talk he might appreciate my candor. I then went on to say that while I was not a supporter I would, as a physicist, be willing to tutor him so he would have a clearer understanding of the issue. I have not heard back and the interviews he gave on March 26 to two New York Times reporters--the transcript is available online--show that my services are badly needed." - Jeremy Bernstein, on the Republican presidential candidate's nuclear ignorance.
