yet the ratings kept going down. We finally figured it out; people don't dislike John, they're just tired of bad news. When they flip on the TV, they want to get AWAY from their problems, not hear about people getting thrown overboard tied to their boat anchor or working out so they can strangle innocent kids faster and better. |
‘The greatest love of all is happening to me...’ So goes the popular song. It's a great song. It speaks to the heart, and deeply. It strikes powerfully to uplift the human spirit, at the quest for self-love and self-esteem, the pride in being alive that each of us is entitled to experience simply by being born a human being. |
(Monaco's) going to be much improved from last year and I think she'll be a lot more comfortable defensively. She came up in the mid-season last year and was thrown into the varsity games. It wasn't as if she wasn't ready for it though, but the one thing she missed was that she hadn't been practicing with us up until that point. |
(You can) use it for the rest of your life, basically. It's a game they could have won. Last year, we played a preliminary final and it was very tight and we had chances to win that if we'd handled that better. Eventually, you know as a coach of a club that you've got to experience these types of games and this type of pressure. |
[Bush's] economic plan could fit on the back of a shampoo bottle: 'cut taxes, increase spending, borrow, repeat.' If he keeps repeating that plan, he will surely endanger Social Security benefits and slow our economy to a halt, just when we need the most economic strength we can muster to fight and win the war against terrorism. |
[Details of that extravagance are drawn from Kim's former lackeys.] For all the immense privileges enjoyed by ... those who ruled the Soviet Union and China, they did not aspire to a live a life completely alien to their countrymen, ... They did not show signs of a consuming desire to emulate the tastes of a jet-set billionaire. |
[Duke] wrote of his wish to support a form of education 'conducted along sane and practical lines,' ... He goes on to specify that he means 'sane and practical as opposed to dogmatic and theoretical.' At first hearing you might have thought he meant sane and practical as opposed to insane and impractical, or kooky and clueless. |
[Experts say economic concerns are going to dominate discussions about China in Congress in the next few years.] Economic problems are going to rise to the surface. Therefore, more Chinese firms will be turning for advice, lobbyists and consultants, ... Chinese companies want to invest here, and they don't want to make mistakes. |
[For example, as a stock trader,] you're only allowed access to research if you have $100,000 in your account, ... If you start with this mechanism of business processes, entitlement and privileges, and those get implemented by security rules, you're golden because you don't have a separate business and security policy rule set. |
[I'm In Charge. Chelsea manager Geoff Hurst puts eight players on the transfer list. He also allows Peter Osgood to leave the club after Ossie fails to appear for training.] He phoned and asked for his cards to be sent to his home, ... Although I'm only a caretaker, I'm acting as I said I would as if I'm in charge for ten years. |
[It's clearly a sore topic with both men.] We're either gay-bashed by gay people or we're totally ignored by the gay press, ... Younger gay people seem to love the show; they don't have a problem with it. It's middle-aged gay men who seem to have a big issue with this show. They don't want other people knowing what they've done. |
[Kelly's departure comes at a critical time for the DHS, which is trying to build momentum for the TSA's Secure Flight program, an airline passenger-screening program that's been stalled in part by significant concerns about its ability to protect consumer privacy.] It's terrible news for the DHS, ... but it's great news for GE. |
[Many of the outtakes heard on the Rhino boxed set would have been lost to the fire, were it not for a reel-to-reel dub copy of two early Charles rehearsal sessions made for Wexler by late Atlantic producer/recording engineer Tom Dowd, shortly before the fire.] I kept it for years, ... Then I made a cassette copy, and then a CD. |
[Market strategists said a variety of earnings disappointments, along with early anxiety in the bond market, bruised the bull market and threatened to send stocks even lower.] It is certainly a risk if you have new money in the market now with these kind of price-earnings ratios, ... This might be a time to be a little cautious. |
[Miles] said, 'We're going to do the alma mater,' and everybody was like, 'What?,' ... I am actually excited about the celebration with the students. I want to see how it goes. This is the first time LSU has ever done anything like this, so I'm happy to be a part of it, but I'm still on the edge about not knowing what to expect. |
