"One of the most unsettling things about this country is that the following people are considered perfectly sane by American standards: Dick Cheney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Deepak Chopra, Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Pat Robertson, Grover Nordquist, and Michelle Malkin. See anybody in that list even remotely normal? Every one of them lives in an egomaniacal la-la-land of his or her imagination and manages to get paid to do it. Believe me when I say that just about any face you see on your television or in the newspaper is a nutjob. I used to interview such freaks for a living. Of course, given that American journalists and interviewers have become mindless suck-asses, I understand that I may have a credibility problem here. But onward!"

bunnies...

"Sit down and work out these issues face to face" is possibly the least threatening thing he could have said other than "let's go bunny shopping together".

life...

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming...
Damn, What a ride!!

for the diet obsessed

Best Sex Partners: Two out of three rock stars agree — overweight chicks rule. Tommy says that "she'll be a screaming, crazy hot, big yummy time, trust me." And Anthony describes it as "some of the best road sex imaginable."

source: Who's the most depraved? MTV article about Tommy Lee, Anthony Kiedis and Dave Navarro.

Then again... this appears to refer specifically to groupie chicks out for goot time with fame and fortune and you'd need to carefully consider where this commentary is coming from before taking it too seriously. Blerk!

Name Voyager - when did your name reach the pinnacle of popularity? (Type in your name at the prompt at the top of the page.)
Doctor Who - I know a person (~25) who's never seen it. But then again, I heard the other day that some 16-17yr old Aussies didn't know what America was (or the US and it wasn't just a matter of not being able to find it on a map... apparently). Then there's the girl who thinks she's a vegetarian because she doesn't eat dead animals... all of her meat comes from the butcher. So, on the face of it - not knowing who the good Doctor is, is nothing really.
