Quote of the Day for 2016-06-28


"Authoritarianism and secrecy breed incompetence; the two feed on each other. It's a vicious cycle. Governments with authoritarian tendencies point to what is in fact their own incompetence as the rationale for giving them yet more power."

Josh Marshall (1969-    ) "I Was Finally Able," Talking Points Memo (January 17, 2006)
