 … just the idea — that this disaster is looked upon as an opportunity for political gain by the left, and that particular political gain actually results in a decline of Western lifestyles, that's something that ought to sober everybody. I wouldn't be talking about this, I assure you, were it not for the fact that others on the left are out there making these asinine, ridiculous statements, and they have to be responded to and reacted to.
  Rush Limbaugh

 (Those are they) who said: Surely Allah has enjoined us that we should not believe in any apostle until he brings us an offering which the fire consumes. Say: Indeed, there came to you apostles before me with clear arguments and with that which you demand; why then did you kill them if you are truthful? / But if they reject you, so indeed were rejected before you apostles who came with clear arguments and scriptures and the illuminating book.

 [Bell's fourth-and-inches run for a touchdown and his 55-yard touchdown run when the Broncos weren't even trying to score are the killer plays, the plays that make coaches sleep on sofas four nights a week. On the fourth-and-inches Bell touchdown run, the Redskins had Bell trapped for at least a one-yard loss. They clearly had the perfect defense called to stop him.] We knew what the play was, ... We had guys calling out the play at the line.

 [Bigger nets?] Excuse my French, ... but this is bull----. That's not right. Colin is really wrong. I respect the guy, but this is not smart. I'm not saying this because I'm not a big goalie. Even if you're 6-foot-5, you're used to playing a certain way, playing your angles on the net we have now. This would change the entire game. It's ridiculous, even stupid. It's wasting energy, and it's not looking at the right places to improve the game.

 [Gosh can one guy, I mean, only one, change a team so completely? Evidently he can. Yeah, I could quibble and say Michael Vick's passing was way off Sunday night, but so what? Did you see the faces of those fans? Did you see the way the Falcons' defense was playing? How can a QB make the defense so much better?] Because it's easy to play defense like this, ... It's harder when the other team has 10 minutes more of possession time than you do.

 [Have backup for your important financial documents.] If you live in an area like New Orleans and you're looking at that level of disaster where your house is not only destroyed but you are going to have to sustain yourself on whatever you can carry, I don't think documents are something you're going to try and carry, ... I can't imagine suggesting that in such a situation, when you might not have enough food or water, that people grab a box.

 [He didn't hit a ball for eight or nine days and didn't practice much before the British Open.] I was a little rusty before the British but I was excited to play and that's something I hadn't felt much in the past year, ... When I struggle, I get home and think, I need to practice. Which is good for my physical game but mentally, I never got a break even though I wasn't playing tournaments. I worked so hard at home, my golf swing is fine now.

 [If the bare bones of the plot make To Live sound dry or intensely political, in fact it's utterly engrossing.] That's because it's so beautifully made, ... Unlike Zhang's later films, it's not at all flashy. He has a very economical way of telling his story. There's very little wasted space in that film, nothing indulgent. It's gripping from start to finish, and all done with such grace, as we watch two ordinary people just trying to get by.

 [Keeping CEOs from making dumb decisions has won fans among Canada's biggest money managers.] In the majority of cases, you would have been better off as a shareholder if the companies had paid out extra money to you, rather than reinvested it. Most management teams are not good at capital allocation, ... Look at BCE [Inc.]. Instead of buying all those businesses they then had to write off, it would have been better just to pay out the money.

 [Powell is one of the nation's most respected war veterans, and the placement of his address on education, race relations and the expansion of social and economic opportunity would seem expertly timed. With the opening of the convention's third session on Tuesday evening, members of the GOP faithful will shift gears to consider the theme] Strength and Security with A Purpose: Safe in our Homes and in the World, ... Opportunity with a Purpose.
  Colin Powell

 [Raptors star Vince Carter, whose sore left knee will prevent him from defending his title in the Dunk Contest, said he spent zero time last year preparing for the competition. In fact, he said he got the idea for his spectacular clinching dunk -- in which he hung on the rim by his elbow -- in a dream.] Two nights before [the contest] it just came to me in a dream, ... Swear to God, I had never done it before. I just got the idea right there.

 [The adhesive pop quality of their songs - Shining Star, Can't Hide Love, Serpentine Fire, Fantasy and the disco classic Boogie Wonderland - was matched by superslick playing born out of their roots in fusion jazz.] People used to call us a funk band, ... But it was a little more complicated than that. We were a fusion group made commercial. We had a lot of progressive chord changes and bebop horn lines and then hooks that a child could sing.

 [The Cubs' faithful would like nothing more than to erase the memory of that heartbreak, but the team's run deep into October should serve notice that these Cubs are bona fide championship contenders. Not since Teddy Roosevelt's presidency have the Cubs played in two straight postseasons. They'll reach it again this year, but they're thinking bigger.] On paper we're better than we were last year, ... We feel we're ready to make the next step.

 [They] are going to be great pros. But if they leave this year, they will sit on the bench and never play and never get a great second contract. They stay one more year and they'll play right away and have a great second contract. That's what it's all about in the pros -- getting a great second contract. And if you sit on the bench like Kwame Brown did, you're not going to get it. One more year and these guys will be ready for the next level.

 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy: / And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
