Our quote of the day is from the American writer and philosopher Henry David Thoreau

The thought that Harvard is complaining about overspending on anything tickles me. Shut up! In 2012, Harvard University said the growing cost of journal subscriptions was an “untenable situation” for the school’s library, which shelled out $3.5 million a year for them. “Prices for online content from two providers have increased by about 145% over the past six years, which far exceeds not only the consumer price index, but also the higher education and the library price indices,” an internal Harvard memo read. It’s not just Harvard struggling with these costs. An analysis from the University of South Florida found that “American research libraries spent 227% more for their journal collections in 2002 than in 1986. The CPI increased 57% during the same period.” The frustrating irony is that universities have to pay these sky-high prices despite the fact they are the institutions funding the research in the journals. Similarly, taxpayers spend $140 billion every year supporting research they can’t easily access.

If any future president wants (the) CIA to waterboard anybody, he better bring his own bucket, because CIA officers aren’t going to do it.

Ex-CIA Director Michael Hayden, responding to Donald Trump’s comments on torture and waterboarding.

It has often been said that Donald Trump is an @$$hole. However, the problem goes beyond that as the man does not understand policy or politics in the real world. I could respect an @$$hole who at least knows what he is talking about but not a fool who talks about nothing.
