I don't understand how anybody's still a Democrat or a Republican. I don't know what they're basing it on.
I love anything that gets me outside of my own head.
Everybody's got cable.
Harry Reid is not funny; he's creepy. Nancy Pelosi is creepy. Charles Schumer is sneaky and creepy.
I'm constantly in fear of having a stroke.
I'm a happy person but an angry citizen.
