There are elements of democracy in votes here and there in America. But in the actual structure of the government, we're a representative republic.

I think if Donald Trump skipped out on a debate, for whatever reason he gave, I don't think it would help him at all.

Do people on food stamps actually need more movies to watch? Well, I'm probably treading dangerously close to the line of insensitivity, right?

Do you know what the actual percentage of money the Clinton Foundation has raised that they donate so far to charity is? It's like 5%. Five percent of what they have collected they have donated - and of course, nobody reports that, either.

There's always a villain in every book, in every movie. In every story you have the hero and what he wants, and that is the MacGuffin. The whole thing is about who's gonna get the MacGuffin. This piece that this Ace of Spades blog wrote is that's how the media covers [Barack] Obama, and I have observed this in different ways over the years.

I don't believe, folks, that the media people you see on TV every day from NPR to CBS to ABC to NBC to wherever are ever gonna admit they're irrelevant, and they're not gonna start acting like it, and they're never gonna say, "Gee, you know what? We might have to alter the way we're -" It isn't gonna happen, even if it means the end of them.

When WOMEN got the right to vote is when it all went downhill. Because that's when votes started being cast with emotion and uh, maternal instincts that government ought to reflect.
