The president offered bracing new rhetoric about where he would like to take energy policy in the coming year, but he suggested little more than a bit more money for the same old programs that have failed in the past. It's the political equivalent of the triumph of hope over experience. |

The problem is not that the security forces are out of control; they only follow orders from the state. It's the state that wants to show it's still strong and intimidating and holding the reins. Any political movement that gains momentum, that thinks it can change anything, is crushed. |
The question is how much can people afford to consume? The accessibility of food is certainly in question here. In a country like Angola, with serious transport constraints, parts of the country will produce a food surplus but the costs of moving this to deficit areas is extremely high. |
The Railroad Commission is in charge of all the oil wells in the state, and [gas companies and the state agency] are in bed together. The Railroad Commission is letting them do whatever the hell they want to do because they are paying the state hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes. |
The reality is that this isn't going to stop any kind of so-called piracy. All this technology does is inhibit you from making the same kind of personal, fair-use music you've always made. The real pirates are going to easily circumvent this technology. The bootleggers won't even blink. |
The reality of it is that he could not live with himself if he didn't attempt to come back and beat this guy. Antonio Tarver has been chasing Roy Jones his entire career. They've had their two fights. It didn't go the way Roy wanted it to the last time, and he wants to turn that around. |
The reason an officer at CIA was terminated was for having unauthorized contact with the media and the improper release of classified information. Don't think in terms of a failure of a polygraph being the reason for termination – the polygraph is one tool in an investigative process. |
The reason for the pause was sufficient to sacrifice the progress that we would make in one single day of recruiting ... to refocus the entire force on exactly who we are as an institution and the fact that we must represent that insitution both in word, deed, and even our very thought, |
The rebounding seemed like it was a lot closer than I thought it was going to be, because it seemed like they were getting a lot more rebounds than us. With the size that we have, usually 50 percent of the time we'll have an opportunity to get a second shot off, but they took that away. |
The Red Cross, as usual, has taken on the lion's share of the work associated with helping victims of Katrina put their lives back together. This responsibility has created a financial need not only with the national Red Cross but among local chapters in Eastern North Carolina, as well, |
The relationship between us and Giancarlo is fantastic. The championship is not yet finished. His aim is to help Fernando [Alonso] win the constructors' championship as well. In addition, driving next to Fernando is not so easy, particularly this year when Fernando has made no mistakes. |
The requirement that military personnel use the Social Security number for practically everything is nothing short of criminal, ... I got an e-mail from one military member who said he was required to stencil his name and Social Security number on his duffel bag. It's really outrageous. |
The risk to crops and farms won't be as significant if it loses force, ... When you look at the lessons from Katrina, the eventual damage to agriculture was less than feared. The department of agriculture actually revised up its estimates of production in the state after Katrina passed. |
