Actually, there's a real investment connection between CNN and Disney. Can you find it?

What was it Winston said.....

"Tyrnanny, tempered by lots of assassinations..." I've always liked that one.
here's the quote, from Dean Acheson of course:

"You see, you all start with the premise that democracy is some good. I don't think it's worth a damn. I think Churchill is right, the only thing to be said for democracy is that there is nothing else that's any better, and therefore he used to say, "Tyranny tempered by assassination, but lots of assassination." People say, "If the Congress were more representative of the people it would be better." I say the Congress is too damn representative. It's just as stupid as the people are; just as uneducated, just as dumb, just as selfish. You know the Congress is a perfect example, and created to be a perfect example."
