It's all very well to run around saying regulation is bad, get the government off our backs, etc. Of course our lives are regulated. When you come to a stop sign, you stop; if you want to go fishing,...
I am not anti-gun. I'm pro-knife. Consider the merits of the knife. In the first place, you have to catch up with someone in order to stab him. A general substitution of knives for guns would promote...
From orphanages to space colonies, it was all shallow but endearingly enthusiastic futurism. Gingrich was the kind of person who read a book or two on something and would then be quite afire as to how...
I've always found it easier to be funny than to be serious.
I believe in practicing prudence at least once every two or three years.
Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please pay atten
I never saw anything funnier than Texas politics.
When I was first diagnosed, I went out, as a book person, and got some books on cancer and looked up my version of the disease. It said that I had about a 5 percent chance of survival. I said, 'Gosh,...

Many a time freedom has been rolled back - and always for the same sorry reason: fear.
Keep fighting for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that fr...
I believe that ignorance is the root of all evil.And that no one knows the truth.
So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities...
The only reason to have a positive mental attitude is that it makes life better. It doesn't cure cancer.
Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please pay attention.
