Will Rogers speaks to me thru a Ouija Board:
Last night he told me:
I belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat.
On Alito: There ought to be one day— just one— when there is open season on senators.
Flip flop: Mark Twain and I have always said, “I’ve never met a man I didn’t like,” but this Rove fella gives me cause to ponder my position. Can I chew on that a while?
On Big Brother: Mr. Bush claims devine executive power to listen in on our phone calls and asks Laura to read him our private e-mails. Why now? Junior has never been interested in the voice of little people before.
On the Budget: Dubya is the first president who never vetoed a bill. Pork fat = Texas cooking. But shouldn’t we pay this rubber-stamper a notary’s salary, instead of a president’s? This could save the tax payers a heap of money.
Along those same lines: since corporations own most of Congress why do we pay their salaries?
On Gay Marriage: Why not? Let them poor suckers become as miserable as the rest of us! After seven years of nagging ain’t nobody gonna call them gay.
On Religion: The Christians I see on the television box today scare the beegezers out of me. These folks are more interested in Love of Power than the Power of Love.
On Bolton to the UN: Diplomacy is the art of saying “Nice doggie” until you can find a rock.
On Torture:If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone, “America died from a delusion that she has moral leadership”.
On Iraq: Take the diplomacy out of war and the thing would fall flat in a week.
If you ever injected truth into politics you’d have no politics.
On Becoming a Constructive Anarchist: Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.
