Isn't it nice of the IRS to tell the media where to ambush me before they tell me that the U.S. Attorney is suing me?

One of my biggest inspirations is President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Yea, President Hugo.

We want accountability. We just buried a president [President Gerald Ford] who did not hold another president [President Nixon] accountable for war crimes and that's why we're in Iraq right now. Our leaders who get us into these messes are the ones who need to be held accountable.

I admire President Chavez for his strength to resist the United States. Instead, Bush is waging a war of terrorism against the world.

[My son] Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives.

This was a war that was based on lies. It was wrong for us to invade Iraq. It's wrong for us to occupy Iraq and we need to bring our troops home.

I wake up every day feeling like today's the day to make a difference. I never question the correctness of what I'm doing or the need for it.
