What often is missed with social irritants like spam and telemarketing is that they are a product of privacy violations, ... You can try to marginalize spam, but it is inextricably linked to fraudulent practices. Addressing spam will get at the other issues that they claim to be important. |
What the Fed may do right now is prepare the market for a switch to a tightening policy from a neutral policy, and that may happen as soon as this month. There's always been the expectation that the economy would slow and ease labor market conditions, but that doesn't seem to be happening. |
What we are confident of is that there will be even more changes in these numbers in the recount [from totals of the past 20 days] because the numbers are close and we know from past experience that electoral processes, while they are filled with integrity are also filled with human error. |
What we want to do is negotiate with citizens, pay them fair market value and do the right thing. But on the other hand, we have to move quickly, because this particular project, while it'll affect individuals pieces of land, it's much bigger than individuals, it's part of the public good. |
What we were able to do was reach a compromise where states would have much greater control over their coastlines than what they do under current law and current regulation, ... It protects those states who do want to protect their coastline and don't want to have more coastal development. |
What's happening to us is nothing. It's a blip compared to the tragedy that has occurred. We do the best that we can, and we try to stay focused on the real nature of the disaster, which is an unimaginable horror for tens of thousands of people who are homeless or who have lost loved ones. |
What's set Megan apart this year has been that she used to be known as a 3-point shooter. Now she's known for so much more. She can rebound, defend our team's best player, drive to the basket well, lead our defensive trap. Overall game, I just don't see anybody around here better than her. |
When Domino's Pizza approached M5 Industries and asked us to design and build the Steak Fanatic Pizza Couch, I knew it was something we wanted to be part of. The Steak Fanatic Pizza Couch is like a guy's dream come true -- only the coolest gadgets and Domino's Pizza all within arm's reach. |
When I asked Kellogg's to explain why their cereal bags are so hard to open, at first they seemed responsive, and sent an e-mail saying they'd assigned someone to help me. But the next thing I knew they told me they just didn't have the manpower to address it and were going to take a pass. |
When I met Little Edie, she was clearly nuts, but there were flashes of charm and style. When I agreed to buy the house, I said that I would take it on the condition that either she leave it broom-clean - which was laughable - or that she leave it all ... and she chose to leave everything. |
When I see that waterfront project as a taxpayer, I'm worried. But as an economist, I'm even more worried because I see capital being wasted in an economy where it will be very scarce reasonably soon. And that has something to do with how fast you can expect the (Japanese) economy to grow. |

When I think of the Detroit Lions, I think of a tough, physical group. I think of a disciplined group. I think of all the things that football is. That's what we have to do. I think we have to find the right guy that embodies those qualities, and somebody who can bring everything together. |
When I was younger, I wanted to prove myself as a coach. But with the different things we have accomplished, now I don't have to prove myself as a coach. The main thing now is I just want my players to experience success and I want to see the smiles on their faces. I want them to have fun. |
When I would go on stage and say, 'Hello, I'm Johnny Cash,' you're not trying to say it like John does, but trying to capture what propelled him to say, 'Hello, I'm Johnny Cash,' when everybody already knew who he was. What I was trying to do was really try to find the man behind all that. |
