I love this line from Jim Hightower
I'm currently reading "Thieves in High Places", this is from the introduction"

"..practically any big-deal CEO, congressionalheavy, media baron, talk show yakker, pompadoured TV preacher and the other pushers of America's new ethic of grab-it-and-go greed....When I look at any one of them, I can't help mumbling to myself 100,000 sperm and you were the fastest?

9. The Irony
Who would ever think so much vile and ugly shit could be found in a place called "Sugar Land?" Tom DeLay's hometown seems to be representative of the hypocrisy in right-wing christianity-turned-politics.

5. Great line!
I love Jim Hightower. My favorite line is "Nuthin' in the middle of the road but yella stripes and dead armadillas". No right turn!!!
