Republicans are so empty-headed, they wouldn't make a good landfill.

Part of the failure of the corporate media is that they don't dig out stories anymore. They are looking down from the top floors. Media work used to be something that was down on the ground level. Now they are looking out of the windows in the top suites, and they don't know what's going on out there. And then there are the corporate owners who don't want this stuff reported because if one town learns that the next town has defeated Wal-Mart or stopped sweatshop goods, then other towns are going to want to do the same thing.

When everybody does better, EVERYBODY does better.

Ronald Reagan's idea of a good farm program was Hee Haw.

The good news, though, is that I find in my political travels that people, as regular citizens, are more interested than ever in getting together and having discussions. They want to hear about other viewpoints that differ entirely from what the administration is putting out.

If it's dangerous to talk to yourself, it's probably even dicier to listen.

Well, I've been in the political arena all of my life, and 10 years of that as a candidate and elected official, and that's about enough.
