Minnesota has a proud tradition of having two Senators on the Ag committee – a tradition I’d like very much to continue.
No whining on the yacht.
I know this seems quaint, but back in 2008, Republicans did not consider “demeaning and degrading women” to be senatorial, let alone presidential.
If we don’t start caring about whether people tell the truth or not, it’s going to be literally impossible to restore anything approaching reasonable political discourse.
So I’ve always been interested in politics. And I thank my parents for that. As you can see, there’s a strong element of moral indignation behind this interest, and indignation is well and good in doses, but I noticed fairly early in life that some people live to find stuff to be indignant about. And it’s pretty unattractive. That’s why I decided to become a wiseass.
Paul’s greatest contribution to the progressive cause wasn’t what he accomplished in the senate, although he accomplished a lot. It’s the way he inspired others to take action, and taught them to be effective, and gave them the confidence to stand up and shout about what they believed it.
The people of Minnesota value a politician who believes what he says and says what he believes and votes that way.
Having children is life’s greatest joy. But there are some people, and maybe you are one of them, who don’t like kids, and consider travel life’s greatest joy. You shouldn’t have kids. Don’t have them.
Also, like Bush, Bauer is open to a little good-natured ribbing. Even about his religion. According to Prophecy, at the moment of the Rapture everyone who has taken Christ as his savior will immediately ascend to heaven. So if you’re in an airplane, and your pilot has accepted Christ, you’re in trouble.
Either way, senators certainly do a lot less drugs than we did at SNL.
I also discovered how much I could learn from listening to other people’s stories – even people who at first blush didn’t seem like the kind of people you could learn much of anything from.
I compensated for this by absorbing as much.
My point is, the Senate is filled not just with lawyers, but with old white men. Chapter 28 The Angel and the Devil Actors often claim not to read their own reviews.
Unions gave us the forty-hour workweek, the weekend, and the middle class.
Franni knew I loved these tours, but one year she said to me in frustration, “You don’t see Bill O’Reilly going on USO tours.” “That’s not fair, honey,” I said. “He has no talent.
Once you even acknowledge that there is a line, that there are things you shouldn’t be allowed to joke about, that there are words that can’t be said no matter the context, you’re selling out the very idea of comedy.
Mike Mansfield had a saying: “It only takes one senator to make a scene. But it takes more than one to make a difference.” Okay, he never said that. I made it up.
Some readers might think that because I am so successful, I have never made a mistake.
Yes, Roger Ailes, who actually was very funny and who, as far as I know, did not sexually harass anyone during the two hours he was with us. Between.
You’re not supposed to have to be rich or lucky to have a chance to do great things. Opportunity is supposed to be for everyone. And that’s why I’m a Democrat.
Mitch McConnell’s innovation was in using it constantly to slow down things that did have bipartisan support, just to make sure as little as possible happened that Obama could get credit for. You.
