1. Love that guy
"I don’t really consider myself a political animal. I try not to be grandiose about that. It’s like the barn is burning down and you’ve got the bucket of water. I don’t know how I got this bucket of water, I don’t remember going to get it, but it’s in my hand, so I guess I’ve gotta throw it."


"I have to think of myself as a regular human being."


Yeah...Micheal, You Rock! :headbang:

2. Some of what he said resonated big-time for me, even though he was talking about
Parkinson's...much of what he said about that disease is applicable as well to people with MS.

4. Thanks, I enjoyed that
When I see pictures of Lindsay Lohan in the car or Paris Hilton -- the level of glee and the level of viciousness -- wow. We’ve got a war goin’ on. We’ve got people dying. And we’re all up in arms about this girl.

“She deserves it” and “Who does she think she is?” Who does she think she is? She doesn’t think -- she doesn’t know what she had for breakfast this morning. Who gives a shit? Relax, everybody. Calm down.

Discipline is just doing the same thing the right way whether anyone’s watching or not.
