It's a very convenient time to do it. I'd like to remind you again, this is an election year.

It's time consuming. The thing that concerns me is that the calendar moves. When all the egos have been gilded and all the politics have been done, we really still have children who need to be educated.

I wish we could alert drivers not to throw their cigarettes out the window. They take more time to pick up than anything else.

Once a year we have to take time out of too busy schedules to remember how we got here and to honor those who got us here.
