That's the government. Having been a politician and a musician, I can tell you which one is a higher calling. If musicians ran the country, it would be a much different place. We wouldn't get a lot done in the mornings, but we'd work late.

I am not anti-death penalty, but I'm damned sure anti-the-wrong-guy-getting-executed.

An editor's job is to take something great and make it good.

If Jesus Christ had run as an independent, Rick Perry would have beat him.

I'll sign anything except bad legislation.

I'm also for gay marriage, because I say they have every right to be just as miserable as the rest of us. Love is bigger than government. And Texas, by the way, has a very progressive law about gay couples adopting kids. We just won't let them get married. So that's not common sense.
