[thought for the day] wednesday evening

First, a journo:

The body managing the government's stakes in bailed-out banks has fired headhunters charged with finding its new boss after they recruited a disgraced top banker from RBS.

Eh? Anyone care to explain that one to me? How does it rate against a politician getting down to specifics?

But sometimes the reality is that defining moments of history come suddenly and without warning. And the task of leadership then is to define them, shape them and move forward into the new world they demand.

Or political foot shooting?

“I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.”

Any idea who wrote or said these?
