You Know, Larger-than-life Politicians Have Larger-than-life Strengths

I'm In Favour Of Politicians Having Extra-marital Relationships. Oh Yeah. It Makes Them More Understanding Of The Flaws That The Rest Of Us Have.

For The Past Several Years, I've Been Harboring A Fantasy, A Last Political Crusade For The Baby-boom Generation. We, Who Started On The Path Of Righteousness, Marching For Civil Rights And Against The War In Vietnam, Need To Find An Appropriately High-minded Approach To Life's Exit Ramp.

You Know, Larger Than Life Is Always Better Than Smaller Than Life In Politicians. And, You Know, God Save Us From Mediocrities.

We Should Never Go To War Unless We Have Been Attacked Or Are Under Direct, Immediate Threat Of Attack. Never. And Never Again.

For Those Of Us Who Consider Ourselves Political Moderates, Life Is A Dispiriting Slog, A Sorry Mix Of Rectitude And Ineptitude.
