A More Fitting Tribute

Thomas DiLorenzo at the Lew Rockwell blog has provided a pretty good tribute to Mencken: a gaggle of great quotes. Sample:

Politicians "are seldom if ever moved by anything rationally describable as public spirit; there is actually no more public spirit among them than among so many burglars or street walkers. Their purpose, first, last and all the time, is to promote their private advantage, and to that end, and that end alone, they exercise all the vast powers that are in their hands."
