“Skepticism turns to cynicism, which leads to apathy and despair, which can cause sleeplessness, dry-mouth, and loss of sex drive?”

I got interested in politics during the civil rights movement and then Vietnam.

Apple has long been a leading innovator of mobile technology; I myself own an iPhone.

During the Reagan Administration, Bob Dole was present at a ceremony that included each living ex-president.

I ask the American people not to fall victim to disinformation. There are no death panels. The Affordable Care Act cuts the deficit.

I hope you realize, in a democracy, laughter is assent.

Tend to be people who didn’t take S.A.T.s, or first-time voters, or people with English as a second language.

Humor and seriousness are not in opposition to each other.

Liberals like me love America. We just love America in a different way.

If 98 out of 100 doctors tell me I’ve got a problem, I should take their advice.

A blogger should have the same ability to find an audience as a media conglomerate.

You see, they love America like a 4-year-old loves his mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a 4-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is bad.

The thing that interests me least about the radio business is the radio business. But I’ve had to learn a little bit about it. It’s not rocket science: You get ratings, that’s good.

I just can’t sit still and meditate; that doesn’t kind of work for me. I don’t even know exactly what it means.

I might think they use a little bit too much oil; some people might think it’s a little dry. But the problem with al Qaeda is they want to kill us.

When you win an election, what you really win is a chance to go to work for working families who need a voice in Minnesota.

I once asked the most fabulous couple I know, Madonna and Guy Ritchie, how they kept things fresh despite having been married for almost seven months. ‘It’s a job, Al,’ Guy told me. ‘We work at it every day.’

The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy.

Apathy adds up, in the long run, to cowardice.

Apathy is grossly undervalued and never there for me when I need it.

Unless these unfortunates can be touched with the spark which ignites the spirit of individual enterprise and determination, they will only sink back into renewed apathy, degradation and despair. It is for us, who are more fortunate, to provide that spark.

I was faced more with apathy than opposition.

Your public servants serve you right; indeed often they serve you better than your apathy and indifference deserve.

The apathy and inattention of the average citizen is beyond comprehension.

Elections belong to the people. It’s their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.
