Words of the Week
“‘It was the nation,’ Churchill would afterwards demur, ‘that had the lion’s heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.’…. In addition to giving the lion voice, he allowed he might have ‘sometimes suggested to the lion the right place to use his claws.’” - Andrew Coyne in National Post September 19, 2001
(Churchill did say *some* things.)

Tweet of the Week
To quote the great G.K. Chesterton, "We must see these things objectively, as we do a tree; and understand that they exist whether we like them or not. We must not try to turn them into something different by the mere exercise of our minds, as if we were witches." https://t.co/eBROHIUYlb
