 'Is there a right to privacy under the Constitution? If so, what does it cover?' These are the broad questions senators must ask, ... You cannot ask a question that encompasses all possible disputes, but you can get a pretty good view of a nominee's philosophy. The American people have made clear they want to know what the nominees think of the basic principle of Roe v. Wade, and they've made it clear they expect nominees to answer questions. |
| "The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs, and explosions, and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, ideas, predjudices, to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, predjudices can kill and suspicion can destroy. A thoughtless, freightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all it's own for the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is, is that these things can not be confined to the Twighlight Zone. |
| [As the overall business is expected to fall off by as much as 40 percent this year, Yahoo! expects business service revenue to rise as much as 46 percent. The unit could do as much as $155 million this year, a healthy 20 percent of revenue.] Business-to-business is a huge opportunity for them, ... Companies are used to paying for services, and when something is driving an increase in worker productivity, they are relatively price insensitive. |
| [Have a backup of 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. |
| [How much does golf mean to comedian George Lopez ? When he was in Las Vegas not too long ago to play a round, he was asked to do an opening stand-up gig for Rod Stewart that night, just a quick 45 minutes of work for $130,000. But Lopez said no. He was afraid it might spoil his round if he had to worry about finishing it to get to the hotel on time.] Is he crazy? Does he know how much $130,000 is? ... I know how much it is. I've got $130,000. |
| [MIKE'S REMARKS:] This race team probably deserved five or six wins by now, ... We've been really close so many times. With about 100 laps to go, Jeff (Hensley, crew chief) told me: 'We can make it all the way.' And I told somebody to slap Jeff. I said: 'I'm not doing that.' Last year we did that and lost the race. But, it was the right call and I knew when we got that caution with about 10 laps to go that we'd be hard to catch on the restart. |
| [Only in the plural is a woman likely to be called a guy .] You can say, 'Call Mary and Jane and see if those guys want to come to dinner tonight,' ... but you can't say, 'I wanted to invite Alice, but the guy wasn't answering her calls.' This usage may be related to the tendency to use guy as a kind of perky pseudo-pronoun - nowadays you hear people using a phrase like 'those guys ' to refer to everything from ski boots to PowerPoint slides. |
| [Rotary members are doing everything in their power to ensure success during this final phase.] We will work from dusk to dawn to make sure that every child under the age of five is immunized, ... The goal of ending polio and its devastating consequences is within reach. We must continue to build on improvements achieved in 2005, and deliver the polio vaccine to each and every child, including the most vulnerable and hardest-to-reach children. |
| [The government was] extremely productive, ... It was extremely productive not only in the House of Commons, legislatively, but in other aspects such as negotiations with provinces and agreements for equalizations and agreements with provinces for funding on health care, for cities, communities. So we're going to continue to work in the House and with provinces in order to continue to accomplish our commitments from the Speech from the Throne. |
| [The Haunting of Winchester reaches beyond the pure ghost story. Appropriate to a woman who lived in her artwork and never received a single guest (even Teddy Roosevelt was denied), the story explores a woman's inward journey and her dealings with issues like personal responsibility.] As she becomes more aware of the rifle's legacy, ... she becomes more self-aware, and so she begins to transform, to renovate herself really, not just her house. |
| [The pageant is not just about charities and talents for Kirkman it also shows a respect and love for her maturity.] Our happiness level depends on what we focus on and I choose to focus on the good, and that's the way I survived. I look at my age so much differently now. Really, I do anything I want to do, ... We don't have to hit a rocking chair when we get 60 years old; we still have a lot of energy and talents to contribute to our society. |
| [This could be a critical inflection point for online retail. If either company can make its offer work, free shipping could become the industry norm. But if the companies can't divine the sweet spot, and they end up losing money, this could be the last time we'll see any such offers -- except for very limited, one-time deals.] I don't think either of them knows if it's going to work out economically or not, ... The only way to know is to try. |
| [To communicate with others, Hall most of the time uses either Exact Signed English (ESL), which is the signing of every word spoken, or American Sign Language (ASL), which is a shorthand version of ESL.] If a person is telling a story, I like to see it through ASL because it's good to imagine the story that way, ... When a person is talking about facts or philosophical things, I like to see it through ESL because it provides more information. |
| [Weather Report, the massively popular and longest-continually-performing fusion band, is often cited as a major influence by artists around the world, but according to Zawinul, particularly in Africa.] Musicians from Africa know Weather Report music inside and out, ... but often didn't knew who was playing it because it would be distributed on pirated cassettes that had no labels. Many such players couldn't believe that some of us were white. |
| According to which principle or hypothesis all the objections against the universality of Christ's death are easily solved; neither is it needful to recur to the ministry of angels, and those other miraculous means which they say God useth to manifest the doctrine and history of Christ's passion unto such, who, living in the places of the world where the outward preaching of the Gospel is unknown, have well improved the first and common grace. |
