Mitch, why do you do this to yourself each and every year?

Einstein on misattribution: ‘I probably didn’t say that.’ Posted on by Michael Becker
Here’s a fun one. In today’s paper, we ran an editorial criticizing the way elections have been handled in Gallatin County and beyond. The editorial opens with a paraphrase of a quote from Albert Einstein.
Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting the same result.The keen reader — which apparently was not me yesterday when I copyedited this editorial — will note that the sense of the paraphrase is wrong. It should be:
Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting a different result.
I regret the error. However, this is where the fun begins.
I began looking into the quote to find out what Einstein actually said only to find that, in all likelihood, *he never actually said or wrote the witticism about insanity.*
According to Ryan Howes, writing in Psychology Today, the quote has been attributed to Einstein, Ben Franklin and Mark Twain. A good summary of the various places the quote has been used can be found here.....

Unfortunately for us, that's the same site that consistently stated Hillary was the most likely candidate to win the presidential election.YardRat Wall of Fame

London will be the landing spot, that's what I heard. Market expansion for larger viewing audience, also the 9AM games keeps Sunday busy the whole day through (~15 hours of football).Originally posted by Goobylal View PostComment

- All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
