Quote of the Day

I've always felt, in all my books, that there is a deep decency in the American people and a native intelligence - providing they have the facts, providing they have the information.
So here we are. We have a choice to make.
-Studs Terkel

Studs Terkel Dead at 96


He was a Pulitzer prize winning author and a champion of the working man. His books include "Division Street" and "The Good War." I realize that he lived a good, long life, but it would have been nice if he was here to see the first black president of the United States.
