We're in a giant car heading toward a brick wall and everyone's arguing over where they're going to sit.

There seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere . . .

What is the use of a house, if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?

The Earth is what we all have in common.

When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race.

The best investment on earth is earth.

First, we would not accept a treaty that would not have been ratified, nor a treaty that I thought made sense for the country.

Plans to protect air and water, wilderness and wildlife are in fact plans to protect man.

The Bushites' domination and transformation of the governing apparatus is so antithetical to our democratic values, yet so thorough, that we no longer have The Government of the People of the United States of America.

But, what the hell, I say we go all the way with it. I mean, what kind of name is "The Government of the People of the United States of America" anyway.  That's so yesterday. We could use some marketing savvy here, some twenty-first-century identity branding that can connect to the wired, hip, commercial culture that is "today."

Let's get with the times, people! You don't see phone companies, for example, sticking with stodgy old names like Bell Atlantic Telephone Corporation, do you? No--they become "Verizon." Now that's got some zip to it! (Alright, it's not really a word and no one can figure out what it is or what it's selling, and the company's stock price is down by half in the three years since the name change, but let's not fall into the trap of negativity here.)

So let's rebrand. Forget. The Government of the People of YadaYadaYada. Let's call it something consumers can remember, something that'll look good on Washington's marble walls, something punchy and true to the spirit of the Bush government. Let's call it: BUSHCO!

"A child born to a black mother in a state like Mississippi . . . has the same rights as a white baby born to the wealthiest person in the United States. It's not true, but I challenge anyone to say it is not a goal worth working for."
