David Beckham has never impressed me.

We only need so much to survive, but this world we live in tells us we need more stuff to be happy.

When you say, ‚Gimme, gimme, gimme,‘ you will always be in short supply.

I just don’t like mutual funds. I think they’re a rip-off.

Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.

I don’t think the government should be in the trailer-park business. I don’t think they know how to run a trailer park.

I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying.

I don’t pay a lot of attention to polls.

Knowledge is true opinion.

Really I don’t like human nature unless all candied over with art.

Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.

Not everybody is comfortable with the idea that politics is a guilty addiction. But it is.

Criticism is prejudice made plausible.

A tremendous amount of the entrepreneurial initiative, if you want to call it that, comes from the dynamic state sector on which most of the economy relies to socialize costs and risks and privatize eventual profit. And that’s achieved by, if you like, advertising.

With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.

America is just downright mean.

I know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you’re sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me – so am I.
