You can't ignore politics, no matter how much you'd like to.

This is the man (Ronald Reagan) who proved that ignorance is no handicap to the presidency

I think of Texas as the laboratory for bad government.

In Texas, we do not hold high expectations for the [governor's] office; it's mostly been occupied by crooks, dorks and the comatose.

Good thing we've still got politics in Texas - finest form of free entertainment ever invented.

The recent death of Gene McCarthy reminded me of a lesson I spent a long, long time unlearning, so now I have to re-learn it. It's about political courage and heroes, and when a country is desperate for leadership. There are times when regular politics will not do, and this is one of those times.

We've had trickle down economics in the country for ten years now, and most of us aren't even damp yet.
