Regarding Politics: You've got your cats on one side and your dogs on the other; someone has to walk the fence and feed the animals. -Kinky Friedman

Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what

An honorable defeat is better than a dishonorable victory.

Bad leaders make you feel bad about yourself. Good leaders make you feel good about them. The best leaders make you feel good about yourself. The great leaders are like the best conductors — they reach beyond the notes to reach the magic in the players.
