A girl phoned me the other day and said… Come on over, there’s nobody home. I went over. Nobody was home.
– Rodney Dangerfield, 1921-2004

Rodney ‘I don’t get no respect’ Dangerfield, master of one-liners and stand-up comic par excellence passed away at the age of 82 when complications arose after a heart valve replacement surgery.

He will be missed by all those who’ve come to enjoy his brand of self-deprecating, acid-tongued, put-down humour that almost always targetted himself.

You can find a wealth of his quotes on this Google search.

Asked about the opposition to reservations in private sector, (ed: Manmohan) Singh said: “Nobody can avoid it as it is going to be a national policy. Nobody can prevent an idea whose time as come.“

Reserving jobs for the ‘weaker‘ sections is an idea whose time has come?! And they’re going to have a national policy for this. In the private sector. I guess ‘private’ doesn’t mean what I think it means!

I don’t believe this. Is this the same guy who also said, today in Mumbai, that he wants to make Mumbai the no. 1 city in Asia, making the world forget about cities like Shanghai. Well… does he think reservations are going to get him there?!!
