Freedom isn't free. But there are some really great coupons if you know where to look. Buy one liberty, get the next one half off.
I’d make a great politician. I’d make it out of pig shit, so it wouldn’t be as foul as it is now.
I like glad-handing, because I hate handshakes that are sad. That’s why I’d make a great politician—because I wouldn’t shake hands with a lobbyist.
