Lily Tomlin interview

a couple of excerpts:

[About the bombing:]
I had such a blessed feeling at first when we didn't react just like that, I thought, well, we were just posturing, posturing, that somehow some incredible crack in the cosmos was going to happen and someone's gonna have a glimmer of consciousness and realize that we have a moment here in time where we could actually make a profound change in the planet in some way, in approaches to stuff, and so when the bombing started it was just horrific...

...

Look at Bill O'Reilly, attacking performers about the benefit they did ... it's such a phony issue...

It's pretty daunting to think that there... but, I'm not gonna give up on this because you see little glimmers -- if it's not suppressed -- of people daring to talk about the fact that everything we're doing is not absolutey right and that somehow other people on the planet have as much worth as humans as we do

...

When Bush Sr. goes to Saudi he stays at the bin Laden home ...
there's such incestuous something going on and has been for so long with oil people ...

the bombing is the thing, where we're headed in terms of militarizing the entire planet ...
