Found this one over at Jay Nordlinger's Impromptus, abrim as usual with arch humour and easy grace. Apparently, this thought came from one of his readers:
bq. DEPT. OF I WISH I HAD SAID THAT: "George W. Bush has several black Americans in high-ranking positions, but often they're not considered black, because they are, of course, Republican... Michael Jackson could have saved himself a fortune on cosmetic surgery...."
Too true. But then, of course, we would have missed out on the uplifting spectacle of watching him become the first white member of The Nation of Islam.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
