"It seems like the Senate is where progress goes to die, and I'm wondering; Thomas Jefferson didn't think we needed the Senate. He thought a singular legislative body was fine. I don't think we need the Senate either, I'd like to get rid of it. I think we should get rid of it." - Bill Maher
"Well, y'know there are a lot of members of the House who feel that way." - Rep. Marcy Kaptur, (D) Ohio
"Another part of this is also a deep sense -- goes back to the religion thing -- these young men are raised with the view that they have the most, that Islam -- this is not a criticism -- Islam sees itself as the most perfect expression of God's monotheistic message. If I were to put it in computer terms, it sees itself as God 3.0. It sees Christianity is God 2.0. It sees Judaism is God 1.0, and Hinduism is God 0.0. And I think part of the dissonance is when they come here or in Europe, in their identity they have the most perfect system, but in real life, their countries are economically behind. In terms of education, behind, and there's a real dissonance. If I have the most perfect operating system, why am I behind?" - Thomas Friedman
"But before I go, I'd like to go back to the beginning of the year to remind everyone that when Barack Obama, an actual college professor, replaced George Bush, an actual chimp, commentators announced that comedians would be out of a job. Well, they were wrong: everyone is out of a job. So yes, Bush was a sweet target, but it turns out there were plenty of ridiculous Republicans behind him that we just couldn't see. His stupid star doth shone too brightly." - Bill Maher
