What's new is that the White House itself has now been corporatized. It's not politicians working for the corporate interests. They are the corporate interests. That's where Bush came from, and Cheney and Rumsfeld.

Populism is not a style, it's a people's rebellion against the iron grip that big corporations have on our country - including our economy, government, media, and environment.

The opposite for courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.

Reagan promised everyone a seven-course dinner. Ours turned out to be a possum and a six-pack.

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

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.

Becoming a politician is the only step down I could take from being a journalist.
