Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head, John Conyers, says he doesn't understand it. It'll be passed by Congress that has not read it, signed by a president who smokes, funded by a Treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese, and financed by a country that's nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?
Rush Limbaugh

Tracey Emin
Today, everything has to be made by committee, and has to have special effects, but there's always room for good films.
Robert Duvall
