"Bill Maher: You're a Senator. You are one of the very few people who are really running this country. It worries me that people are running my country who think - who believe in a talking snake.
Mark Pryor: You don't have to pass an IQ test to be in the Senate, though."

"Now we look up in,
Into the eyes of bullies breaking backs.
They seem so very tough,
They seem so very scared of us.
I look into the mirror,
For evil that just does not exist.
I don't see what they see."
From the song "I was married" on The Con by Tegan and Sara

"Madame Michel has the elegance of the hedgehog: on the outside, she's covered in quills, a real fortress, but my gut feeling is that on the inside, she has the same simple refinement as the hedgehog: a deceptively indolent little creature, fiercely solitary - and terribly elegant."
