A narcissist is someone better looking than you are.
Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so.
Fifty percent of people won't vote, and fifty percent don't read newspapers. I hope it's the same fifty percent.
Our form of democracy is bribery, on the highest scale.
The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity - much less dissent.
The genius of our ruling class is that it has kept a majority of the people from ever questioning the inequity of a system where most people drudge along, paying heavy taxes for which they get nothing in return.
There is no such thing as a homosexual or a heterosexual person. There are only homo- or heterosexual acts. Most people are a mixture of impulses if not practices.
Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria whose numbers double every forty years. Either the host dies, or the virus dies, or both die.
What other culture could have produced someone like Hemmingway and not seen the joke?
Whether you appreciated him or not he was an interesting and brave dude.

He was great in the movie Bob Roberts, where he played an incumbent senator in an electoral battle against ultra-right wing folk singer Bob Roberts (played brilliantly by Tim Robbins). The movie is a mockumentary, and Gore Vidal has numerous "interviews" in the movie which were apparently ad-libbed.

On an unrelated note, that top comment is a little bit tasteless: "Thumbs up if you are watching the video because of his death."
First time on YouTube? YouTube's comments section has been a horrible wasteland of poor taste for years. Seriously they make the "Grinds My Gears" thread look like we're all Saints.

I think he gave you a bit of a RickRoll
It's ok, we will decide what is tasteless on the internet.
Even Gore Vidal has had more boyfriends than I have!
RIP (He would love that)
Lisa: Friends? My only friends are grown-up nerds like Gore Vidal, and even he’s kissed more boys than I ever will.
Marge: Girls, Lisa. Boys kiss girls.

No, I know YouTube comments are at the bottom of the barrel, but for some reason that comment stood out for me. Not sure why.
