Are you working on any other projects right now besides Air America?

Here's the deal. I'm here 16 hours a day, so my other project is trying to get in a good night's sleep. I actually have a column in Lifetime magazine that I write once a month. I'm doing some performing here and there.

How do you rest and recharge?

I walk my dog and I veg -- I watch those bad shows. I literally delve into something that takes my mind completely off everything, and I force myself to sleep seven hours a night. If I have to work late into the night, I will sleep in an hour later, because somebody can just fill me in on information. When you cull as much information as I do, it's not like, "What's Falluja?" I'm not starting from scratch. That's the whole thing with the network here. You have to be somebody who, if Air America didn't exist, would still have the same amount of information and the same amount of outrage and humor, because this is not just about people writing jokes about the day's news. It's about people who have experiences and takes and outlooks on the world at large.

If you had to be stuck on a desert island with Bush, Cheney, or Rumsfeld, who would it be and why?

Cheney, because he may die the quickest because of his bad heart.

And if you could make a law, what would it be?

It would be that every person on earth would have three meals a day. Someone's giving me the finger right now, like there are better laws for me to make. But, think about yourself. You know when your blood sugar drops, and you're a nightmare? Okay. Think about an entire continent of people whose blood sugar is like that all the time. That's why there's war. When you eat, you take back all of your evil thoughts about exerting power. You go, "Oh, you know what? No." And then you have a nap, and then it's time to eat again, and you don't have time to wage war and to hate.
