Giving someone a one-time stimulus check or a one-time tax cut that expires doesn't allow the predictability that business needs.

When I started my last business I didn't receive a paycheck for 13 months. The average person can't handle that pressure.

We don't seem to be able to check crime so why not legalize it and then tax it out of business?

The buck stops with the guy who signs the checks.

Carpe per diem - seize the check.

I've looked after my money. As I started working around my third birthday my first check went straight to the bank.

I also take pleasure in the so-called negative power in Grotjahn's work. That is I love his paintings for what they are not. Unlike much art of the past decade Grotjahn isn't simply working from a prescribed checklist of academically acceptable curator-approved 'isms' and twists.

Turns out I couldn't catch them - or even get close to them. I realized that sharks are amazing beautiful animals who have absolutely no interest in checking me out.

We are on the precipice of a crisis a Constitutional crisis. The checks and balances which have been at the core of this Republic are about to be evaporated by the nuclear option. The checks and balances that say if you get 51% of the vote you don't get your way 100% of the time. It is amazing it's almost a temper tantrum.

I tour alone. There's no sound check no back up. I stay with the hosts I am in a family home and it's really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day it's a new relationship being built. It's odd and wonderful.
