I believe in practicing prudence at least once every two or three years.

I think of Texas as the laboratory for bad government.

The thing is this: You got to have fun while you're fightin' for freedom, 'cause you don't always win.

We often seem to be swimming through such a miasma of sexual violence - in advertising, television programming, heavy metal, rap, films, and worst of all, in the home - that even First Amendment absolutists sometimes daydream about how nice it would be to have government-as-nanny just outlaw all this effluent.

The United States of America is still run by its citizens. The government works for us. Rank imperialism and warmongering are not American traditions or values. We do not need to dominate the world. We want and need to work with other nations. We want to find solutions other than killing people. Not in our name, not with our money, not with our children's blood.

I don't so much mind that newspapers are dying - it's watching them commit suicide that pisses me off.

Calling George Bush shallow is like calling a dwarf short.
