Al Franken
I got interested in politics during the civil rights movement and then Vietnam.
Al Franken
I don't think I'm an angry person. I think I'm a person who's angry. I'm angry at the Bush administration I'm angry at the right wing media. And by that I don't mean the media is right wing. I mean, there is a part of the media that's not the mainstream media. That's Fox, that is 'The Wall Street Journal' editorial page.

When you live in New York, one of two things happen - you either become a New Yorker, or you feel more like the place you came from.
Al Franken
Yeah, we shot ourselves in the foot right out of the gate. The guy who ran it at first misled pretty much everybody about how much capital we had. He said we had enough to go three years without making money, and we had enough to go three weeks.
Al Franken
When people talked about protecting their privacy when I was growing up, they were talking about protecting it from the government. They talked about unreasonable searches and seizures, about keeping the government out of their bedrooms.
Al Franken
There's plenty of room for humor in politics, God knows, but it's a serious business.
Al Franken
It's really building Air America that I'm focused on, and for me, that almost only means doing a good show.
Al Franken
Russia has cultivated an opaque network of patronage across the region that it uses to influence and direct decision- making.
Al Franken
My spiritual life is... sometimes I have access to it and sometimes I don't. When I do have access to it, it's usually a sense of my understanding what the best course of action or the best thing for me to do. By best, I mean when I have a real sense of doing the right thing and doing good for people and the connected universe of everybody.
Al Franken
