"...And you can tell your history teacher that Teddy Roosevelt knew damn well that the japs were gonna bomb Pearl Harbor!"
Source: A pompous guy explaining how the world works to his kids in a resturaunt

It was preceeded by: "...You see, there are three groups in Iraq- the sunnis, the shiites, and...oh some other guys."

and I SWEAR TO GOD he ended his lecture with the following REPEAT: THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT HE SAID!!!

"The problem with America is that the voters dont educate themselves on stuff like this"

Now I know you are thinking I made that all up for a gag... I DID NOT!!!
I was just sitting at the next table waiting for my 'surf and turf' and could not here that pompous ass loudly explaining the history of the world to his two uncomfortable kids- it was all I could do not to scream....
