That's one of my favorites. Attributed to Mencken when I first saw it long ago. Am now afraid to look it up and get involved in a 'who said it first ?' swamp.
A woman spotted the hat inside the police vehicle on Monday afternoon when it was parked in the parking lot of Whole Foods in the Annapolis Town Center.
Ah, Annapolis Town Centre (because the Oxford spelling makes it classy!). It is not in Annapolis (literally across the street from the city line), it is not in any incorporated town, and it is not the center of anything. New high-end apartments built atop the likes of Target and P F. Chang's. Practically EPCOT. Damn thing is visible from Matapeake Beach across the bay.
On the one hand, I'm rather surprised this didn't happen in [Mike Peroutka's] district. On the other, his voters probably wouldn't have reported the cop to begin with.

The only attribution I know of was to Richard J. Daley, mayor of Chicago, and he said it in a | news conference during the 1968 Democratic Convention riots. |
It was a total malapropism for Daley, but if Mencken said it he meant it.
Meant 'two kinds of people '………….
Fine, be that way.
| It was actually one of Wilde's. |
I don't doubt either origin story. I got it from Papa Dewey, who is both a huge Mencken fan and a Chicago resident in 1968.
So he's got All the Good Quotes, then.
