Don't get me wrong, it definitely ain't the Democratic Party either. They're so bad, I mean I'm actually starting to believe that John Kerry was just token resistance, that he literally was down with George W.Bush. It was just such a horrible, horrible, horrible thing to see, that campaign. So, you know, I don't know what's going on.
Aaron McGruder
And I'm not so in love with making people mad that I want to live my life around it.
Aaron McGruder
But I know that in Toronto and Vancouver there are all the comforts of America, and yet there's a difference in the people, and I had health care.

I want the news delivered unbiased. I thought that was the whole point with journalism.
Aaron McGruder
I think the people should demand accountability on the voting. I think there's no point in voting if you're not gonna demand fairness and be able to verify each vote. And other countries can do this fairly easily. So I don't think you really want democracy if you're not willing to take that first step.
Aaron McGruder
When the news is slow, or when there's just so many other responsibilities bearing down on me that I don't have the time to do it right, that's when it gets frustrating. As an artist, you just don't wanna put bad work out. So when you have to do it seven days a week, you're just gonna have some bad days and bad weeks and bad months and bad years.
Aaron McGruder
When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure.
Aaron McGruder
I don't want the news to be patriotic. I don't want to see flags on the lapels of the anchors. I don't want any of that.
Aaron McGruder
I think the two-party system is a complete sham I think it is designed so that the voters can feel like they have the satisfaction of throwing those bums out of office every four to eight years, but without the direction of the country ever significantly changing.
Aaron McGruder
I guess I was a conspiracy theorist when I said no weapons in Iraq. Now they call that history.
Aaron McGruder
I really get a little bit confused by all this angry angry angry talk when all I do is tell jokes and at least some people find it funny.
Aaron McGruder
Meeting Fidel Castro was really cool. It's cool because it's Fidel, and it's a world leader, and there's so much history behind the man and who he is in this hemisphere. And then at the end of the day, he's, I think, just like a big mayor. There's only, like, 11 million people in Cuba. He's a big mayor.

Good satire goes beyond the specific point it’s trying to make and teaches you how to think critically. Even after your favorite cartoonist retires or [Stephen] Colbert wraps it up, you’re not left believing everything they’re telling you.
Aaron McGruder
I think revolution is always a little bit possible. I think it won't look or sound anything like what we would expect. But I think revolution is very difficult, and I'm not optimistic for any kind of dramatic change.
Aaron McGruder
I think there's a lot of good and bad to L.A. One of the things you have to consider is that you can, if you're lucky, make a decent living here. That's a big plus. That's pretty positive. The weather is OK.
Aaron McGruder
It's difficult to overcome what you're getting beamed into your brain by the television every day. The worthlessness of journalism today is just making the country confused and bewildered and lost.
Aaron McGruder
I just tell jokes, and I think a lot of people take it too seriously. It's not that I don't have things that I'm angry about in the world, and I think most decent human beings are upset about things, and even upset about things in their own country, but I'm not a particularly unhappy fellow.
Aaron McGruder
I'm actually kind of angriest about the fact that everybody keeps saying how angry I am.
Aaron McGruder
The population has to be educated about how the government actually works.

Late to bed and late to wake will keep you long on money and short on mistakes.
