" only in the United States do people fear Iraq. This is a real achievement in propaganda. It's interesting that the United States is so susceptible to this. But, for whatever reasons, the United STates happens to be a very frightened country by comparative standards.

"there are limits to my comedy. there are things that uh, i will never laugh at. the handicapped. because there´s nothing funny about them. or any deformity.... yeah. um it´s like when you see someone look at a little handicapped and go 'ohh, look at him, he´s not able bodied, i am. i´m prejudiced.' ....yeah, well, at least the little handicapped fella is able minded... unless he´s not. it´s difficult to tell with the wheel chaired ones. so just give generously to all of them." --best show ever.
