The fundamental fact of American politics - and I've sharpened my view on this since last year and the hardcover edition of the book - is that we've got an alliance between the religious right and the accumulators of great wealth. Those are the people who are running things. |
The future path for monetary policy depends critically on at least a flattening out of interest-sensitive spending, ... It is touch-and-go whether the softness in interest-sensitive spending is sufficient to be consistent with the required degree of overall economic slowing. |
The game is exponentially more exciting. When I think of the entertainment value of the sport in the five years leading up to the lockout and compare it to the product today, it's almost unfathomable to me the progress we've made in injecting entertainment back onto the ice. |
The global payment system is only as secure as its weakest link. To prevent future data security compromises, everyone, everywhere, that engages in commerce must take responsibility for their role in the payments chain, including, banks, processors, retailers, and consumers. |
The goals are always the same, ... I would like to have a nice punting average. The most important thing though, is the net (average) because sometimes you're forced to punt it far or short, again depending on the situation. And field goals, you always want to make them all. |
The good thing about this group is that in prior years we have been No. 1, but I felt it was given to us by default. People above us lost and we didn't. But with this team, people around the state have watched us and feel that we are a legitimate contender to win this thing. |
The guy that drops by the wayside becomes history, and theoretically he'll be replaced by new concepts in urban clothing and shoes. New concepts are popping up and they are popping up like mad -- as fast as they have ever come if not faster, and they'll want to grow rapidly. |
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, / And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. |
The hardest part about the loss is that we lost at home, and you always want to start off on a good note. It was a humbling experience to lose the way we lost, but I told the team that we are going to watch film and just learn from our mistakes. Then we are going to move on. |
The history of Christianity would have been far happier if we all had remembered one rule of intelligence -- not to believe a thing more strongly at the end of a bitter argument than at the beginning, not to believe it with the energy of the opposition rather than one's own. |

The horror of class stratification, racism, and prejudice is that some people begin to believe that the security of their families and communities depends on the oppression of others, that for some to have good lives there must be others whose lives are truncated and brutal. |
The ideal scenario for Mexico would be a slowdown in the U.S. economy of 1-2 percent combined with easing in monetary by the Fed. Mexican companies may see a slight slowdown in exports to the U.S., but will benefit from a drop in their debt service costs under this scenario. |
The interesting thing today was you had the Catholic board, public board, parks and recreation, all the people who have budgets, but they don't work together. There's problems with funding formulas, so I think the first thing we want to address is how they can work together. |
The investigation did not find any conclusive evidence of wrongdoing by the athlete. We (the BCU) acknowledged the elevated levels of testosterone, but there was also enough evidence to suggest that natural physiological reasons may have been responsible for the fluctuation. |
