At one time or another I have insulted everybody and I am proud of that.  Folks, let me sum it up for you: I think religion is bad, and drugs are good.  I think America causes cancer, longevity is less important than fun and young people should be discouraged from voting.  I think stereotypes are true, abstinence is a perversion, Bush's lies are worse than Clinton's, and there is nothing sexy about being old or pregnant.  I think 9-11 changed nothing, and if I had known the onset of war would add a hundred points onto Bush's I.Q., I would have started one.  I think pornography stops rape, I think AIDS ribbons are stupid, and a flag burning makes me feel patriotic.  I think death is not the worst thing that can happen.  I think people have too much self-esteem, and being drunk is funny.  I think children are not innocent, God doesn't write books, and Jesus wasn't a republican.  I am for mad cow disease, and against suing tobacco companies.  I think girls hate each other, no doesn't always mean no, you have to lie to stay married, women's sports are boring, and the Olympics are gay.  We'll be on for another six weeks here on ABC... ~ Bill Maher, prior to ABC cancelling his show

I don't need drugs to make my life tragic. ~ Eddie Vedder

I was in no position to laugh or roll my eyes.  The dementia of a drug addict had its poetic quality.  The mania of hope and longing was heightened.  It was the same psychosis I was under, I suppose, the need to change, the self-hatred. ~ Michael Collins (from "Emerald Underground")

Hi. I'm Spider Jerusalem. I smoke. I take drugs. I drink. I wash every six weeks. I masturbate constantly and fling my steaming poison semen down from my window into your hair and food. I'm a rich and respected columnist for a major metropolitan newspaper. I live with two beautiful women in the city's most expensive and select community. Being a bastard works. -- Warren Ellis (from "Transmetropolitan")
