 [A]bout Bill Clinton, you know, I really think he should have been impeached, but not for [having an affair with an intern and lying about it]. His policies are responsible for killing more Iraqis than George Bush. I don't understand why to rise to the level of being president of my country one has to be a monster. I used to say that George Bush was defiling the Oval Office, but it's been held by a long line of monsters. |
| [But the amendment threatened the overall budget deal, and was opposed by the White House.] As a free-standing matter, I think this president's sympathies are pretty clear around the thrust of the legislation, ... The problem is, the amendment doesn't stand freely. It stands encumbering the balanced budget agreement that we also fought very hard for. The president is not about to see all that hard work go down the drain. |
| [Consequently, there is plenty of media coverage on official complaints that services have not been delivered fast enough, that rescue efforts have been too slow, and that there have been competing agendas.] We are watching this devastation unfold on our televisions for days and you have to ask: where is the federal government? ... We should have had a significant amount of troops and supplies there on the ground Monday. |
| [Decreased daily activity. Countless women have told Peeke that they feel they need to work out twice as hard in their 40s as they did in their 20s and 30s to see results. What they're not taking into account, though, is that their overall level of daily activity has decreased.] If you think about it, you're no longer chasing kids and lifting them in and out of a Dodge Caravan, ... You need to make up for the difference. |
| [In his Jerusalem Post interview, Belafonte also reiterated his claim that the policies of the Bush administration are] very much similar to the things that were done when Hitler was on the rise. ... that 'sometimes the Jewish people have laid claim to such a high and pure morality' that they take great exception to facts which challenge that claim, despite that theirs 'is a DNA that sits within the entire human family'. |
| [Infantry boot camp was so effective that Dye organized POW simulation exercises as well.] We made all the actors take their shoes off, put 'em around their neck and walk 2 miles to the camp, ... In the camp, the actors would only speak Japanese to them -- no English at all -- because we wanted the actors to understand that feeling where you've got somebody screaming at you in Japanese, which I think would be terrifying. |
| [The eruption of the flag controversy is a glaring symptom of a distressing change in American politics over the past decade: the way that pit-bull negative ads have led to simplistic, visceral posturing by candidates at the expense of more substantive approaches to real problems.] It's a good issue to define your opponent, ... If your opponent is for flag burning, he's got to go through a very sophisticated explanation. |
| [The National Rifle Association, the major voice of the powerful gun lobby, greeted the news joyfully.] This is a historic victory for the NRA. Freedom, truth and justice prevailed, ... No other industry is forced to defend themselves when a violent criminal they do not know, have never met and cannot control, misuses a legal non-defective product. American firearms manufacturers will now receive the same fair treatment. |
| [While her actor dad, John Aniston, was in Los Angeles taping his soap opera, Days of Our Lives, Aniston was living in New York with her mom, a sometime actress-model, and attending the performing arts high school made famous by Fame. Dad did his best to dissuade her from going into show business.] Why trust your kid into that? You try to protect them from all the bad people out there, ... you get chewed up and spit out. |
John Aniston (1937-)
| [Wide receiver Hines Ward will not argue the facts: The Steelers' first-team offense is struggling. The unit failed to score a touchdown in four preseason games and failed to convert on more than 80 percent of their third-down attempts. When told that coach Bill Cowher said the team is not where it needs to be, Ward said.] What team is at their peak right now? ... It's just a process. We have to grow and keep on working. |
| A lot of the games I've watched over the years, the unnoticed things are that 3rd-and-7 play where there's bracket coverage and everyone was tied up, and that quarterback ran for a first down and changed the momentum of the game. So we don't discount the importance of that, but you have to do things in progression. I just think Troy needs to be a little bit better from his progression standpoint. |
| Aerie has all the hallmarks of a promising early stage biotechnology company, ... Initial animal testing has been very encouraging. Our products target a rapidly growing $3 billion dollar global market that has seen little innovation and is ripe for improvement. We have a seasoned team of senior executives who will successfully shepherd AR-101 into the clinic, and we have provided the necessary capital to get them there. |
| Already, it's clear to me that leadership from the senior class is effective. It's not necessarily coming from authority that sometimes is assumed by playing prowess. It's really coming by a moral authority, one that kind of transcends what happens in the field. They're established kids, very comfortable with themselves and very genuine and enthusiastic on the field, but genuine in their responses to the younger players. |
| Amanda will be a star to reckon with as her college career goes on and I hope she has a chance with the Under-20 National Team. She can score in a variety of ways and is so crafty on the ball, with different moves and the ability to turn opponents inside and out. We are trying to encourage her to be more selfish with her own chances, as that should boost her goal total while also opening things up for the entire offense. |
| And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: / And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: / And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. |
