Who Said That?

When asked, "Would you ever be comfortable being a house husband?"

__________ answered.  "No, I have to go to work. I’m too much of a Calvinist.  If I don’t work every day, I get nervous."

This is an easy one!  Fill in the blank.  Leave your guess in the comments section below, and I'll post the answer next week.  Please, no google searches or cheating.

Since it's pretty much been determined that Mr. Bill is the one who said this, we might as well hear what the rest of the media thinks about "Calvinists." This from the February 16, 2009 issue of Newsweek in an article entitled, "Why There Won't Be A Revolution:"

"...Americans' contradictory attitudes toward wealth are ingrained in the national culture ... the first European settlers to New England were Calvinists, belonging to a stern creed obsessed with the fate of their souls. Believers in predestination, they anxiously sought the outward signs of inward grace, signifying their "election" to heaven. One of these was worldly prosperity; wealth was a valued indicator that the possessor enjoyed God's favor ... "

- Jerry Adler with Raina Kelley

Ya know, if these two had even bothered to crack a history book on the attitudes and beliefs of the early immigrants they'd write quite a different story. But then, with Mr. Bill having more than enough Calvinist in him to go around, who's to tell them otherwise?

William Jefferson Clinton, past POTUS, and student of Carroll Quigley (from whom he likely got his definition)

Well, at any rate, I believe he has heard the intern-al call.

@Pam: He problapy does. There is off course a difference between a person who is a calvinist in a 'cultural' sense, that is, someone with a calvinist attitude to work and life (Working hard, living sober und so weiter) and a calvinist in 'religious' sense, that is, being someone of reformed confession.

HR-C's hubby. I'm sure he was referring to Calvin and Hobbes.
