Potluck Quote of the Day: Howard Zinn on Monopoly

Greetings to those of you in Germany, Spain and Australia........as well as to those of you who might just be checking us out on your wi fi from Ozo Coffee Pearl in Boulder, Colo., where perhaps you are reading a print edition of "Boulder Weekly" or from Publik Coffee in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah...........

Tonight, we start a series of quotes from noteworthy people, both alive and dead, who made contributions to society (yes, we will not quote Charles Manson, but Marilyn Manson is a possibility).

And, we start with the late very progressive scholar Howard Zinn (1922-2010). Once you read this quip, you will understand why we went with a Monopoly game board; Scrooge McDuck was out alternative choice.

Here is the quote from Zinn:

"Capitalism has always been a failure for the lower classes. It is now beginning to fail for the middle classes."

Top 10 Most Controversial Album Covers

Here is the list which was made out by alternativereel.com

I would have chosen Madonna's "Like a Virgin," but I also hate her music (not for political or cultural resons; she is just very annoying).

The list was actually posted in reverse order:

10. "God Hates Us All," Slayer (2001)

9. "Holy Wood," Marilyn Manson (2000)

8. "Amorica," Black Crowes (1994)

7. "Rage Against the Machine" (self-titled album) (1992)

6. "Appetite for Destruction," Guns N Roses (original cover) 1987

5. "Lovedrive," The Scorpions (1979)

4. "Sticky Fingers," The Rolling Stones (1971)

3. John and Yoko "Two Virgins" (1968)

2. Jimmi Hendrix "Electric Ladyland" (1968)

1. The Beatles "Yesterday and Today" (1966)

Quote of the Week- Marie Osmond

"If you're going to be able to look back and something and laugh about it, you might as well laugh about it now."


To complement this entry, we have a quip from Marilyn Manson on our sister blog "The Daily Vampire."
