Democracy allows rhetoric, false empathy and emotion to pummel rational thinking - so it's no wonder so many politicians thrive in it.

When Bush says democracy, I often wonder what he's referring to.

I just believe that the feeling of wonder is amazing. I am pushing myself as far as I can humanly push myself ... I can only hope for the best and expect the worse.

If one had to handicap it, it sounds like no one's going to be voted out. It makes you wonder why we went through the process.

I wonder why that's so low, given the imports of crude that are just booming. Maybe it's going into some new government inventory stash.

I am both pleased and proud to announce Garth Brooks and Stevie Wonder as the recipients of this year's special Songwriters Hall of Fame Awards,
