But what would we do without the government? We’d have to tie our own shoes!

Years ago, during the liberal Republican Senator Bob Packwood sexual harassment scandal, Ray Bradbury was on Politically Incorrect (when Maher was on ABC) and defended Packwood by saying that he (Bradbury) sexually harassed his wife until she married him.

Dear Mr. President, There are too many states nowadays. Please, eliminate three. P.S. I am not a crackpot.

if that is true, then answer me this....

do you wear an onion in your belt?

did a raccoon steal your lambchop?

did your lamp run away??

when you were a pup were you spanked by Presidents till the cows came home? and did Grover Cleveland spank you on two non-consecutive occasions??

Enquiring minds...need to know.

"I thought NASA's challenge was outreach to the Muzzies? "

That's Obama's new direction for NASA. Sensible presidents aimed them in more appropriate directions.

I think you’re describing “God Bless You Mr. Rosewater” by Kurt Vonnegut.

There’s a reason that Fahrenheit 451 was one of my favorite books.

The native of Waukegan, Ill., has never been shy about expressing himself -- he described President Clinton with a word that rhymes with "knithead" back in 2001-


Sounds like he has a great deal of wisdom!!!
