Deep Thoughts - "Confucius Say" Edition
"Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. Don't feed fish." -- Rep. Paul "Lyin'" Ryan, Wednesday in Ohio. Putting an Ayn Rand-ian
spin on the Chinese proverb (often attributed to Confucius) "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"? Or maybe Ryan was quoting that somewhat more obscure Rethuglican oracle, Confusion? (See also, Quayle, Dan, "A mind is a terrible thing to lose.")
Also: "Moochers!"
