[QOTW] Quote of the Week February 13 2005

[Quote of the Week]

To the quoting public of America:
	Julian Hyde is a man with a vision, a vision of what it takes to truly
win the war on Terror. "That’s right," he said last week, "the Bush
Administration is going to take on Halloween once they’re through with Al
Quaida." Brilliant words which narrowly beat out Donna Desilus’ quotation
to a victory in the tight race for Quote of the Week.
	But all is not well in QOTWland. "Another week with only nine quotes,"
Harry Alper lamented on last week's ballot; "Either quoters can't count
or people aren't submitting a total of ten quotes a week." Now Harry
might not be the best counter out there (there were ten quotations, man,
check again) but some weeks it FEELS like there are fewer. QOTW
quotations should be the cream of the crop; lately, they've just been
whatever measely crop the week happens to turn up. Go to QOTW.net and
submit more quotations, children! Nominate yourselves! Maybe you thought
of some really clever comeback a week too late, maybe you had something
brilliantly witty ot say but the conversation moved to a different
subject. It doesn't matter! Go home and plop your butt down in front of
the computer, mutter your repressed wit under your breath, and quote
yourself all night long! You'll feel better for it!
