I love the excess of Christmas. The shopping season that begins in September, the bad pop star recordings of Christmas carols, the decorations that don't know when to come down.

I don't think everyone should vote. If you have to be dragged into the polls, carried into the polls and smelling salts have to be used, you probably shouldn't be voting. However, we shouldn't be putting up barriers to voting that target certain groups.

If there's one thing that everyone can agree on, it's that, right or wrong, they hate the press.

Christmas is a stocking stuffed with sugary goodness.

I wish I had played team sports. I think every kid should. Teamwork builds character - teaches people about leadership and cooperation.

Politicians who wear little tennis socks with the balls at the back should not be taken seriously.

I have a dream, and a plan, to combine the commercial possibilities of Valentine's Day with the substance and meaning of black history month. I call it: Blackentine's Day.
