My third grade teacher, not at all my favorite elementary school professor, had a neat saying nonetheless: Good, better, best; Do not rest; Until good is better, and better is best.

Today's nominees (courtesy of the New York Times)...

Good: Several states plan to sue the Enviromental Protection Agency, part of the do-nothing arm of the Bush administration. "[The Bush EPA has] a disregard for science, statute and wise policy."

Better: "It looks like Microsoft is going to war with Google."

Best: Bush's compassionate conservatism... "I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English, and I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English."
