"My entire career has been a secret plan to get this job. I applied before but I got knocked back because the BBC wanted someone else. Also I was seven." -- Steven Moffat, new executive producer of Doctor Who, as quoted in the Guardian, 2008-05-20 ( thanks to theweaselking for quoting this where I'd see it)

[Sorry about the repeat. The QotD posting script's invocation yesterday never completed (so I'll have to go see which sites it never got to when I'm more awake). Since archiving the QotD and putting all-but-the-just-posted-bit of the queue back in place for the next day are the last two steps of the script, it ran this morning with the queue file in the same state as it had been in yesterday morning. At some point I need to make the script better at dealing with failures and retries. Here's the quote that was supposed to have been posted five and a half hours ago...]

"The whole Elliot Spitzer debacle happened during my blogging hiatus, but someone wanted to know my opinion of it. Well, my opinion on scandals of this nature has remained fairly consistent throughout my adult, political life: I DO NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT OLD WHITE GUYS HAVING SEX SO STOP TRICKING ME INTO DOING SO! I don't want to think about Spitzer having sex, or Larry Craig having sex, or Gray Davis having sex, or Jerry Falwell having sex, or Bill Clinton having something that was not strictly sex pursuant to the legal definition provided in statute §§21050, etc. I don't care who or what they are having sex with because thinking about this aspect of the sex would involve thinking about the sex, which, as I have stated previously, I do not wish to do. Please, can we just assign a taxpayer-funded hooker to every member of congress to ensure that these liaisons become so routine that they are no longer newsworthy?" -- Matthew Baldwin (Defective Yeti), 2008-05-07
