The big elephant sitting in the corner is that George W. Bush is simply unqualified for the job. What's his accomplishment? That he's no longer an obnoxious drunk?

Dad was also a deeply, unabashedly religious man... , But he never made the fatal mistake of so many politicians - wearing his faith on his sleeve to gain political advantage.

My wife and I just prefer Seattle. It's a beautiful city. Great setting. You open your front door in the morning and the air smells like pine and the sea, as opposed to bus exhaust.

They're not the same person. Well, they are the same person, but they've got a brain disease. And it's not their fault they've got this disease.

It's just that I have this funny objection to torturing small animals no matter how scrumptious their body parts might be. ...

Whom would Jesus drag around on a dog's leash? How can Christians tolerate it? It is unconscionable.
