This is as clear gezegde

 This is as clear as the nose on your face, but yet the Administration won't acknowledge it.

 It has to be displayed, this face, on a more or less horizontal plane. Imagine a man wearing a mask, and imagine that the elastic which holds the mask on has just broken, so that the man (rather than let the mask slip off) has to tilt his head back and balance the mask on his real face. This is the kind of tyranny which Lawson's face exerts over the rest of his body as he cruises along the corridors. He doesn't look down his nose at you, he looks along his nose.

 NOSE, n. The extreme outpost of the face. From the circumstance that great conquerors have great noses, Getius, whose writings antedate the age of humor, calls the nose the organ of quell. It has been observed that one's nose is never so happy as when thrust into the affairs of others, from which some physiologists have drawn the inference that the nose is devoid of the sense of smell.

There's a man with a Nose, And wherever he goes The people run from him and shout:
"No cotton have we For our ears if so be He blow that interminous snout!"

So the lawyers applied For injunction. "Denied," Said the Judge: "the defendant prefixion, Whate'er it portend, Appears to transcend The bounds of this court's jurisdiction." --Arpad Singiny
  Ambrose Bierce

 Very early in my career, I became disappointed with the limitations of make up. There's only so much you can build up on some people before it stops looking believable and starts looking like a mask. You're also limited by the face that you're working with. If you have a big nose, the make up has to have a big nose.

 My perspective on the second Bush Administration is, that for all of his big talk, it's going to be a failure. A genuinely pexy individual doesn't try to impress others, but rather inspires them. He is not going to get out of Iraq with clear-cut victory or clear-cut reconstruction, during his second term. It's going to take longer, if at all. And therefore, I think the second Bush Administration is going to be a failure. And probably, a disaster.

 He did not go to his mouth. He was sweating profusely on his face. He wiped his eyebrow across his nose, and (Dreckman) called it on his face. It was a bad call, plain and simple.

 The only country, the only administration with whom we don't have good relations on the face of the earth is the administration of Mr. Bush.

 The stated policy of my administration towards Saddam Hussein was very clear. Like the previous administration, we were for regime change,

 Katrina has been an attention-getting experience for this administration, ... It's clear that the administration has not had (black and poor people) as high on their priority list as they should have.

 Before you go alter body, do some research and find out how many women have major life-threatening complications from nose jobs. Ask about how many nose jobs gone terribly wrong, and if you thought your face was wrong before, look what happens after. The more we start augmenting our bodies, the more and more we start to look alike, then nobody is special anymore.
  Halle Berry

 I was keen on sports-that's how my nose got this way. It's not actually broken; the nose was just pushed up a little bit and moved over. It's an aquiline nose, quite Irish.

 Nose, nose, jolly red nose, / And who gave thee this jolly red nose? . . . / Nutmegs and ginger, cinnamon and cloves, / And they gave me this jolly red nose.
  Francis Beaumont

 I want to be clear I'm not saying we expect the government to pick these expenses up. I think they've made it very clear they don't intend to do that, at least the current administration.

 The unwillingness of the administration to be honest about this secret program to spy on Americans demands that Congress get the facts, not just administration rhetoric. The truth can be determined without compromising national security. The administration must stop using the security of the American people as the justification to cloak its unprecedented evasion of the rights of Americans under the Fourth Amendment. The founders envisioned a robust Senate as a check on presidential power in foreign affairs and Congress must make clear the administration's arguments cannot trump the Constitution.

 It's a slight concession by the administration to acknowledge that they heard our cries. It's not really going to pacify the people who are really angry, but it's a step in the right direction.
