...demonstrated its power across all disciplines. We figured out that infinitesimal viruses existed long before we could see them, simply by filtering the bigger bacteria out of infectious fluid and finding that it still made lab rats sick. Economics relies on Ockham too. The very best way to increase tax revenue is - sorry to say - to increase taxes. And criminal lawyers absolutely love Ockham: Motive, opportunity and your fingerprints on a weapon don't always mean you did it, but they do often enough that, odds are, you're going away for a reason...
...Indeed, many of Sarkozy's vaunted policy initiatives have so far fizzled. A package of tax reductions and credits passed into law last July has had little discernible impact on investment and jobs. Legislation that took hold in October allowing companies and workers to step around the legal 35-hour work-week limit hasn't done much to stiffen French work habits.

And [Reagan] didn't have the Senate for most of his eight [years]. Look what he did. He got his tax cuts through - a number of things. It can be done. We're dealing, I think, with [Nancy] Pelosi and [Harry] Reid, two of the most incompetent, ineffective Democratic leaders in my lifetime. Now the idea that we conservatives cannot go beat these people without having some of them join...
