On Bill Clinton: "if Left To My Own Devices, I'd Spend All My Time Pointing Out That He's Weaker Than Bus-station Chili. But The Man Is So Constantly Subjected To Such Hideous And Unfair Abuse That I Wind Up Standing Up For Him On The General Principle That Some Fairness Should Be Applied.

We Are The People Who Run This Country. We Are The Deciders. And Every Single Day, Every Single One Of Us Needs To Step Outside And Take Some Action To Help Stop This War. Raise Hell. Think Of Something To Make The Ridiculous Look Ridiculous. Make Our Troops Know We're For Them And Trying To Get Them Out Of There. Hit The Streets To Protest Bush's Proposed Surge. If You Can, Go To The Peace March In Washington On Jan. 27. We Need People In The Streets, Banging Pots And Pans And Demanding, 'stop It, Now!'
