I'm going to make my transition to weatherman soon,
If you want to elect Bush, that's the prick that I'm gonna yell about. If you want to elect John Kerry, I'm gonna be yelling about him. My problem is with authority.
Elected officials shouldn't get to choose who gets to choose elected officials.
What I find most disturbing about Valentine's Day is, look, I get that you have to have a holiday of love, but in the height of flu season, it makes no sense.
Socialism appeals to me. It's like imposed Christianity. You've got to share.
That's the funny thing about religion: it doesn't matter what you say, you're going to upset someone.
I was a drinker, so I went through the scotches. Before single malts hit, there were really cheap scotches, because nobody was paying attention to them. Then by the time they started jacking those prices up, I moved on to vodka.
