Quote of the Day

"You must charge something for the lemonade. That's the whole point of a lemonade stand. You figure out your costs—how much the lemonade costs, and the cups—and then you charge a little more than what it costs you, so you can make money. Then you can buy more stuff, and make more lemonade, and sell it and make more money."—Chicago Sun-Times columnist and pitiable person Terry Savage, who was "really set off" by "three little girls sitting at a homemade lemonade stand," who were giving away the lemonade for free. After railing about these wee commies for fifteen paragraphs, she notes, "No wonder America is getting it all wrong when it comes to government, and taxes, and policy."
