I have decided that Anu who puts together A.Word.A.Day is a Democrat. Or perhaps at least a third party liberal. Why, you ask? I subscribe to this email list and tend to read the quotes of the day, rather than the word. I have surmised that his quote collection during the election always reflected on war, the need for peace, and the sadness of closed-mindedness. After the election, the quotes have started being a tad fatalistic. My example - yesterday's quote:

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. -Bertrand Russell, philosopher, mathematician, author, Nobel laureate (1872-1970)

However, today's quote is a bit more comforting:

Patience is also a form of action. -Auguste Rodin, sculptor (1840-1917)

If this is not the case, and Anu really just picks random quotes for no reason, then at least I had fun making up theories. I have a feeling I'm right on base, though. It would go along with paragraph people being Democrats and math people being Republicans (Here's the column I'm referring to).
