Perseverance

Heard on The Dave Ramsey Show:

"Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance."
Samuel Johnson

Another one I like:

“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.”
Newt Gingrich

And where would we be without Churchill?

“Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential”
Winston Churchill

Jon Stewart gets it right on Acorn

Thanks to the work of James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles, the criminal enterprise known as Acorn has been exposed. Hopefully the tide has turned and Congress will permanently de-fund this organization. Among Acorn's many accomplishments have been illegal endeavors to help elect President Obama and Senator Al Franken (see also here).

Hats off to Jon Stewart though. In this video (via HotAir) he brilliantly ridicules both Acorn and the shameless media establishment that tried to keep a lid on this story.
