Taken from a WSJ comment section, this is the best way to not appear stupid on the internet:
"Here is a novel thought. When you are going to state a theory or premise; test it first. For instance, if a light bulb flashes and the thought arises from the recesses of your less than agile mind, "I will suggest a link between small government and adultery", quickly jot down the names of famous politicians caught with their pants down. If the names you write down, Sanford, Ensign, Clinton, Edwards, Spitzer, Hart, McGreevy, et al, are not consistent with your premise; abandon the post so as not to appear silly."
Credit for that goes to John Cunnane, whoever that is.
The article being commented on was: An Economy of Liars, and while the comment is more or less irrelevant, the article is dead on concerning the economy.
