"I like Joe Lieberman. I look at the presidential candidates and I think, there's a bunch of bruised apples, and then I look at Lieberman, and I think, well, there's at least a slight sheen on that. Sort of."
Ooh, he's all metaphorical. Democrats are bad apples. I get it.

"I get my news from Fox, the Wall Street Journal editorial, Rush Limbaugh... where do you and your people get your news?"
If you're reading this, by the way, you are now one of my people. I own your ass and I will force you to read news online from at least three different sources every day, and to watch The Daily Show. Heed my bidding. You are my people.

"I have a theory about John Kerry, about what he's doing to seem more appealing to people. You know Julia Roberts, right? Well, I think Kerry had collagen injections in his lips."
I don't even know what to do with that.

Does it really matter what he thinks? Given that America is a one-party state, are elections in any way meaningful? (The single party is Corporate America and it has two right wings - the Republicans and the Democrats.) Why not start your own party? Elections would be much more fun in a multi-party democracy! Biff mentioned the word "communist" earlier. Does the Communist Party not field candidates for the Presidency? Is there not a popular Socialist Party in USA? Or a Liberal Party?
OOPs.... Silly of me. We used to have that range of mainstream political parties in UK but now they are almost indistinguishable from each other. I think its called "Regression Towards the Meaningless" (c.f. http://gsbwww.uchicago.edu/fac/robert.mcculloch/research/BusinessStatistics/robHw/SimpleLinearRegression/q13.html )

Possibly the least uninteresting aspect of the above post is that Google cannot find a single reference for the phrase "Regression towards the meaningless".
Your search - "regression towards the meaningless" - did not match any documents.
Could this be a totally original play on words?
So many people .... so many words .... so little originality! Does that make me a wordplaywright? Right!

Well, now, see, there's the problem. He gets his news from Fox, the Wall St. Journal and Limbaugh.
I get my news from actual journalists.
