The mark of a true politician is that he is never at a loss for words because he is always half-expecting to be asked to make a speech.

For years politicians have promised the Moon. I'm the first one to be able to deliver it.

My strong point, if I have a strong point, is performance. I always do more than I say. I always produce more than I promise.

The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time - it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine.

Most days I feel like the sole survivor of a shipwreck, rowing my paddleboat across a sea of people on waves made of an infinite array of hands and crests that reveal anonymous faces. On a good day, the clouds part to alight on-lo and behold-an island! I step ashore, only find that it too is made of people, mangled bodies somehow still alive. They grab at my feet, pulling me under like quicksand. The last thing I see before suffocating is the sky, a billion eyes staring down, blinking in undulating electric ripples. The cold rain I feel on my cheeks is the tears of the people.

Honesty may not be the best policy, but it is worth trying once in a while.

Until he has been part of a cause larger than himself, no man is truly whole.
