Millennial voters are very concerned about climate change and will vote for candidates who are planning to address it. But the systems that are in place.

People and stars are made of the same stuff.

Nuclear fission wasn’t discovered until long after Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace published their original books and papers, for example.

Hillary Clinton, President Obama, they’re trying to turn the American dream into the European nightmare. We need to rescue the country from socialism.

Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don’t.

Along with the evidence of common sense, researchers have proven scientifically that humans are all one people. We’re a lot like dogs in that regard. If a Great Dane interacts (can we say interact?) with a Chihuahua, you get a dog.

I hope climate science becomes the big thing. And then what I want is electrical engineers to solve the world’s energy problems, energy distribution problems.

If you decide to become a dancer on Broadway, never say who your favorite dance partner is, because members of the media will presume you never want to dance with anybody else.

In another couple centuries I’m sure that worldview won’t even exist. There’s no evidence for it.

I think I could have been quite difficult to fathom as a youngster, this kid who didn’t talk about himself very much.

I’m not one of those “omg texting kids rite bad” alarmists. I just think there’s an interesting nexus where the Internet itself hastened language change when it comes to Internet terms.

I’ve been interested in cartooning all my life. I read the comics as a kid, and I did cartoons for high school publications – the newspaper and yearbook and soon. In college, I got interested in political cartooning and did political cartoons.
