I've always been amused by [Bob] Dylan; I don't think he's been amused by me.

[Barack] Obama has little, if any, principles except to aggrandize and make himself more and more important.

When John Adams - when - James Madison was writing - pretty much writing the Constitution, he got a letter from Thomas Jefferson, who was then-ambassador to France. And Jefferson said - I am paraphrasing - `Do not forget to keep habeas corpus and strengthen it.' That - in - that's the oldest English-speaking right. It goes back to the Magna Carta in 1215.

I grew up in a household in which we had a clock that we won at Revere Beach during the Depression - one of those brass clocks that didn't work - but it showed Franklin D. Roosevelt standing at the wheel of the New Deal.

Allen Ginsberg was a remarkable guy. He was himself. He was an original.

In the recent Virginia election, the black vote diminished. Now why was that? I think a lot of black folks are wondering what this guy is really going to do, not only for them but for the country. If the country is injured, they will be injured. That may be sinking in.

[Barack Obama's ] only principle is his own aggrandizement. This is a very dangerous mindset for a president to have.
