About Me

Click Here to Buy Me Things... "The man who wrote The Star Spangled Banner knew what he was doing. He set the word free to a note so high no one could reach it."--Angels in America "Even intellectuals who are lifelong members of a society can, in a manner of speaking, be divided into insiders and outsiders: those on the one hand who belong fully to the society as it is, who flourish in it without an overwhelming sense of dissonance or dissent, those who can be called yea-sayers; and on the other hand, the nay-sayers, the individuals at odds with their society and therefore outsiders and exiles so far as privileges, power, and honors are concerned."--Edward Said "For despite the abuse and vilification that any outspoken supporter of Palestinian rights and self-determination earns for him or herself, the truth deserves to be spoken, represented by an unafraid and compassionate intellectual."--Edward Said "Live beyond the pain of reality with the dream of a bright tomorrow."--Jesse Jackson "For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die."--Teddy Kennedy "There ought to be limits to freedom."--George W. Bush (when he found out about www.gwbush.com) "Whenever 'A' attempts by law to impose his moral standards upon 'B,' 'A' is most likely a scoundrel."-- H.L. Mencken "The caribou love it. They rub against it and they have babies. There are more caribou in Alaska than you can shake a stick at." --George Bush (speaking of the Alaska pipeline) "No woman gets an orgasm from shining the kitchen floor."--Betty Friedan "I even knew one guy who managed to reconcile his Holy Spiritedness with the traditional vice of high school. When I asked him what he was doing on his summer vacation, he said, 'Drinkin' beer. Thinkin 'bout Jesus."--Thomas Frank in What's the Matter With Kansas "If Bill O'Reilly needs to have an enemy, needs to feel persecuted, you know what? Here's my Kwanzaa gift to him. Are you ready? All right. I'm your enemy. Make me your enemy. I, Jon Stewart, hate Christmas, Christians, Jews, morality, and I will not rest until every year families gather to spend December 25th together at Osama's homo-abortion-pot-and-commie-jizzporium."--Jon Stewart "Bush is the devil of rhetorical seduction for our time."--Robert Ivie Thus Dante's motto over Inferno applies with equal force to marriage: "Ye who enter here leave all hope behind."Emma Goldman
