Some of the stupidest brilliant people who ever lived.

The Democratic Party is that amazing thing, out of power for six years and yet exhausted. They're pale, tired, and unready. Too bad, since it's their job to be an alternative, not an embarrassment.

Here is an old tradition badly in need of return: You have to earn your way into politics. You should go have a life, build a string of accomplishments, then enter public service.

Boundaries aren't all bad. That's why there are walls around mental institutions.

Politicians, please, think of yourselves! Move to help Terri Schiavo, and no one will be mad at you, and you'll keep a human being alive.

I think miracles exist in part as gifts and in part as clues that there is something beyond the flat world we see.

Don't fall in love with politicians, they're all a disappointment. They can't help it, they just are.
