Proverbs from Pug Mahoney, the cynic in chief:
-- Cynicism thrives when idealism clashes with reality.
-- Ignorance is no barrier to success in politics, but it is a major impediment to governing.
-- Politics is about getting elected. Government is about getting something done.
-- Some pundits said the president's speech was his best yet. But compared to all the others, that's not saying much.
-- The corporate prime directive is to increase shareholder value. This means boosting the stock price even if it means consumers suffer.
-- Consumer choice is a cover term for higher company profits.
-- The secret of success in business: Lower costs and higher prices equal more profit.
-- How can you tell when a politician is lying? His lips move.
