More quotes by Aaron McGruder
I'm not crazy impressed with New York. I mean, I don't buy into that whole thing: Everyone in New York is all sophisticated, and they're into art and sophisticated things, and everyone in L.A. is just shallow entertainment people. I think people are just shallow across the board.

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 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 wonder what it means when your grandson is more crotchety than you are.

Voting really doesn't mean anything. I wish I could say something different, but I think it's kind of a sham.

I think, being a public figure - which, I have to admit, I guess I'm largely responsible for, in terms of going out and putting myself out there - comes with its own burdens, and its own things that cause you stress, and its own worries.

The population has to be educated about how the government actually works.

Fidel Castro just talked a long time, and he talked and he talked and he talked and he talked... and he talked during the meeting. I think it was about four hours. But I guess that's part of the Castro spirit.
Aaron McGruder
We have to confront the very scary fact that the president is a moron. He's really dumb.
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
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
You can't accuse the creator of The Boondocks, ... Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan was the devil and the government is lying about 9/11.

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.

Late to bed and late to wake will keep you long on money and short on mistakes.
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
You know, Democratic and Republican administrations alike have supported individuals and regimes that have slaughtered millions across the globe. And they need to be held accountable for that.

I think you should know that real-life white people are not all as funny as the ones on 'Seinfeld'.
Aaron McGruder
Obviously, there's a million things we're allowed to say on late-night cable that you're not allowed to say on a prime time broadcast.
Aaron McGruder
Perhaps it's time to start examining countries that have made democracy work while still having some kind of the same relationship in covenant with their population. Perhaps we need to look at the Scandinavian countries, or Canada, or something else, but whatever we have now, I think we just have to acknowledge, ain't workin.
