Quote of the Day

Before he died at eighty-six, my very Republican, very intolerant, and as best I can tell, very mentally healthy grandfather used to chaff me with his take on the old epigram: If you’re not a socialist before you’re thirty, you have no heart; and if you’re still a socialist afterward, you have no brains.
