H.L. Mencken quote

 H.L. Mencken (born 1880 - died 1956) was a journalist, satirist, critic and registered Democrat.
Mencken wrote the editorial below while working for the Baltimore Evening Sun:

As democracy is perfected, the office of the
President represents, more and more closely,
the inner soul of the people. On some great
and glorious day, the plain folks of the land
will reach their heart's desire at last and the
White House will be occupied by a downright
fool and complete narcissistic moron.
                                 -H.L.  Mencken, the Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
So it was written, and so it has come to pass...

Ted: 10+ Things I Learned Watching Ted with Mark Wahlberg

If called upon, Tom Brady could save the world. Homosexuals like turkey burgers. Thunder is just God's farts. Channing Tatum's index finger can be the topic of girl talk. Women cannot distinguish between the Darth Vader theme and a song from the Notebook. Surprisingly, insulting and talking dirty to the job interviewer can land you the job. Having sex instead of working can lead to a promotion. To party like it was the 80s, you just gotta nail a lot of girls named Stephanie. Don't trust someone on drugs with a knife. A real duck could totally beat up a stuffed bear. However, the stuffed bear can totally beat up a 35-year old human man.
