George Bush – BBQ Rib slabs and jeans
Laura Bush – A long trip of her choosing with her girlfriends
Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin – A non-sexist world to live in
The Media – Lessons on objectivity

The Internet – Fact-checking

Nancy Pelosi – Humility
Amy Winehouse – Sobriety
Balthazar Getty – A week in public stocks

GORE VIDAL WAS IN L.A. RECENTLY AND HIS MOUTH RAN OFF DIVINELY UNCONTROLLABLY. I was there to hear it all myself. Hang on………
If you read dead people like Montaigne, Plato, Aristotle, they whisper to you.
Teaching has ruined more writers than alcohol.
Susan Sontag – She called herself the expert on the French new novel. She couldn’t speak French and she faked everything.
Americans are not prone to wit. A witty American woman is the devil incarnate.
George Bush – He’s a little four-flusher. You can get away with anything in America. P.T. Barnum is their saint. When in doubt they just steal elections. Bush couldn’t have had anything to do with 9/11. It was too brilliant a strategy. It will take two or three generations to fix the Bush damage.
Gay marriage just opens the door to more criminal activity for the Federal government (taxes).
Wm. F. Buckley – I loathed him. I wanted to break his head in to watch the moths fly out.
Obama – He’s perfectly respectable. Lincoln wasn’t all that much either when he first got around.
JFK was one of the funniest people who ever lived. He was very witty.
President Garfield could have a book written in English in front of him, and then a blank pad on either side. He had a pen in each hand, and simultaneously he would translate it into Greek on the left and Latin on the right…..so like President Bush.
