Splash du Jour: Friday

No, this is not a photo of Jack Nicholson wondering why he ever agreed to do the movie, About Schmidt.
It is a photo of Donald Rumsfeld, wondering why he ever talks in public!
The following is from an actual news briefing, February, 2002. The statement won the Plain English Campaign’s Foot in Mouth Award…

“Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things that we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”
-- Donald Rumsfeld

Have a great Friday!
