“Members of Congress should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers so we could identify their corporate sponsors.” –Zing

“If I had done the things I’ve been accused of, I’d be too embarrassed to stand up here.” – Senator Roland Burris

“Spending $800 billion to save or create 4 million jobs works out to $200,000 per job. That is not stimulus. That is insanity!” –Zing

“I have to say even I am a little taken aback by the force of the Republican assault. Even in a downturn as swift and alarming as this one, even after an election that clearly favored one approach over another, even after the most conciliatory efforts by an incoming president in memory, these people have gone to war against the president. The president should stay cool. The rest of us should realize what motivates the GOP: the opportunism of selective ideology.” –Andrew Sullivan
