                  If you write a computer program that uses all of the words of the dictionary, and then randomly arranges them, you will eventually write the Bible, the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address, all speeches that have ever been given, all all books that will be written in the future. Is this plagiarism or random generation of sentences?

                    93%, that is a lot! That is almost the whole speech! It IS the whole speech. Who cares about those measly 7%! What are the mainstream liberal media up to now?

                      From Congressman Steve LaTourette's obituary today, "Upon joining Congress in 1995, LaTourette invited humor columnist Dave Barry to serve as his temporary press secretary. He delivered a Barry-authored tort reform speech on the House floor that asserted: "As a lawyer, I am the last person to suggest that everybody in my profession is a money-grubbing, scum-sucking toad. The actual figure is only about 73 percent."

                          "The weirdness of a generic drug company offering a generic version of its own branded but off-patent product is a signal that something is wrong.”

                            “A wonderful thing happens over time,” he murmured the other day as Lola, the tiniest of his hyperkinetic menagerie, nestled at his chest. “You fall in love with the sound of your own voice.”
