More From Al Franken

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
Laughter to begin with was probably glee at the misfortunes of others. the baring of the teeth in laughter hints at its savage ancestry. animals have no malice, hence also no laughter. they never savor the sudden glory of schadenfreude. it was its infectious quality that made of laughter a medium of mutuality.
Laughter Animal Quality
A vast silence reigned over the land. the land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. there was a hint in it of laughter, but of laughter more terrible than any sadness-a laughter that was mirthless as the smile of the sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility. it was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life. it was the wild, the savage, frozen-hearted northland wild.
Dog Laughter Sadness
Laughter is a symptom of spirituality. laughter is the flow of love coursing through your body. laughter is the nectar of present moment awareness. invite more laughter into your life and relish the magic in every moment.
Laughter Magic Body
There is a kind of laughter that sickens the soul. laughter when it is out of control: when it screams and stamps its feet, and sets the bells jangling in the next town. laughter in all its ignorance and cruelty. laughter with the seed of satan in it. it tramples upon shrines; the belly-roarer. it roars, it yells, it is delirious: and yet it is as cold as ice. it has no humor. it is naked noise and naked malice.
Laughter Ignorance Ice
I am a mexican. the united states lived seventy-five years with the one party system in mexico - the pri - without batting an eyelid, never demanding democracy of mexico. democracy came because mexicans fought for democracy and made a democracy out of our history, our possibilities, our perspectives. democracy is not something that can be exported like coca-cola. it has to be bred from the inside, according to the culture, the conditions of each country.

We in america should see that no man is ever given, no matter how gradually or how noble and excellent the man, the power to put this country into a war which is now being prepared and brought closer each day with all the pre-meditation of a long planned murder. for when you give power to an executive you do not know who will be filling that position when the time of crisis comes.
