quote of the day (September 23, 2008)

As the world's financial systems crumble around us, it's always good to take a few moments to reflect on our individual situations and come up with a personal plan to survive these difficult economic times. Or, better yet, we could just look to the advice of steel magnate Herman Blume (Bill Murray) from the movie Rushmore, when he speaks to the students at the Rushmore Academy:

"You guys have it real easy. I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you’re going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you."

And for good measure, our favorite scene from the movie. "Nice nurse's uniform, guy..."
