The classic rule of thumb is that if you are an intellectual ideological magazine you do better in opposition than you do if your views are reflected by people in power.

Language is legislation speech is its code. We do not see the power which is in speech because we forget that all speech is a classification and that all classifications are oppressive.

We need a positive economic agenda that invests in the innovation and growth that will create jobs for middle class families and ensure that America remains the world leader.

People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life without understanding what is subversive about love and what is positive in the refusal of constraints such people have a corpse in their mouth.

We're seeing quite a lot of people who really would like a return to class-based politics.

It's such a beautiful sport with no politics involved no color no class. Only as a youngster can you play and as a pro can you win. The game has kept me young involved and excited and for me to be up here with gems of baseball.

I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.

It would be great if politics were fact-based but it is not and it is surely not nuance-based. What works in a classroom or a think tank does not work on Capitol Hill or in the White House. Obama sometimes seems to be running the Brookings Institution not the country.

I don't know why that is but English politics is just so overly white. It's very much about the class structure.
