 [Taylor says that some days, after a bad day at work, people came into the bars looking for fights. Some would even go so far as to spit in Taylor's face to instigate a confrontation.] It is so hard to keep yourself from beating the crap out of them, ... I just drag them outside and hand them off to the police. Then they can spend the rest of their night in a concrete cell.

 [The breakdown of emergency communications will be a key topic at hearings planned on Capitol Hill. Disaster response experts hope the Katrina chaos will] serve as a wake-up call, ... in the first major test of our emergency response capabilities after September 11, we see once again our Achilles heel is the total meltdown of the infrastructure we rely on for communication.

 [The Ku Klux Klan branded Johnson the most hated man in America; wooden crosses were burned on his lawn.] Judge Frank Johnson, ... was denounced as a judicial activist and threatened with impeachment. He had the courage to expand freedom in America. Judge Roberts, I hope that you agree America must never return to those days of discrimination and limitations on our freedom.

 [The war in the streets of Baghdad gave rise to the deaths of thousands in New Orleans and to the destruction of the city. In both cases peoples of color are regarded—and being dealt with—as America's enemy.] This place is going to look like Little Somalia, ... We're going to go out and take this city back. This will be a combat operation to get this city under control.

 A country that displays an almost ruthless commitment to efficiency and performance in every aspect of its economy—a country that switched to Japanese cars the moment they were more reliable, and to Chinese T-shirts the moment they were five cents cheaper—has loyally stuck with a health-care system that leaves its citizenry pulling out their teeth with pliers,

 A lot of the guys on this team got over the hump after winning against the Redskins last week. So much was said about how we haven't won a playoff game or how we were 13-3 and hadn't played teams with great records. Our defense is probably the worst rated of the 12 teams in the playoffs. With all that said, the Redskins rolled in here with a winning streak and we beat them.

 Absolutely, ... The Republican campaign in Virginia will tell you that, at least privately. The president chose to nationalize that election by showing up on election eve. You don't want to do that unless you want to be associated with the results. I think they thought genuinely Bush could pull him across the race. It wasn't close. The result: Bush has to take the spanking.

 Al forms of consensus about ''great'' books and ''perennial'' problems, once stabilized, tend to deteriorate eventually into something philistine. The real life of the mind is always at the frontiers of ''what is already known.'' Those great books don't only need custodians and transmitters. To stay alive, they also need adversaries. The most interesting ideas are heresies.
  Susan Sontag

 All our recent initiatives are very successful because they answer to what our customers are telling us they want, and that is a more comfortable, enjoyable flying experience, ... If other airlines like American do not realize that this is important to fliers – especially the most frequent fliers – then they must not be listening to their customers as closely as we are.

 All political roads lead to Ohio in 2006. First, there is almost no way Democrats can get control of the Senate back without beating DeWine. Second, it's going to be one of the best chances Democrats have to pick up a governorship, and a big governorship, not just any old governorship. And third, it's the state with the most vulnerable Republican House seats in the country.

 All these guys I've toured and recorded with, they want to come down here once in a while when we have our get-togethers. This time we're having Don Helms. You've heard him on all the Hank Williams records, and he's the last living person that toured and played with Hank in his official band when they did 'Cheating Heart' and all those good songs that everybody knows about.

 Alyssa had been working for an art source in Southern California as their Northern California representative, ... I watched her work with private individuals, corporate clients and interior designers to provide them with art. I saw sales happening in my community, sales of artwork I represent in town. I knew there had to be a mutually beneficial way for us to work together.

 Am I surprised by how slow he's moving? My basic answer is, yes. I knew he was not going to turn the Earth on its head overnight. But given the vastness of his ambitions ... I would have expected in the first eight months he would be doing lots of things of consequence: more significant personnel moves, more significant documents, more serious public engagements, etc., etc.

 America has changed since we first came here (1964). It's almost unrecognizable, to be perfectly honest. It's very hard to imagine what the United States was like 40 years ago. It wasn't like this and the Super Bowl wasn't like this either. We've grown with American culture changes and America has changed a great deal. Hopefully both of us still have our core values intact.
  Mick Jagger

 And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner: / Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.
