 [He also said the House will be busy with legislation and committee business.] There will be a very full agenda and the committees will be very busy, ... I think if Members come back to this session, looking to work on behalf of Canadians instead of, as the Conservatives continue to indicate, looking for an opportunity to defeat the government, if they, in fact, focus on working on behalf of Canadians and making this Parliament work, there's lots on the agenda. There's lots of legislation to pass and we certainly look forward to that.

 [It's worth repeating a quote from Garber that appeared in my recent Sports Illustrated story on Johnson.] We want kids to dream of playing for FC Dallas and being like Eddie, and the only way that happens is if he's playing in our league, ... Our future is going to have us looking to these special players as the foundations for the sport, and we need to find ways to provide salaries that are competitive with other parts of the world. More important than that, we need them to believe in the league and their role in building the sport.

 [The only likely contender for ‘08 who has so far made it clear that the war in Iraq is damaging U.S. national security and has actually proposed an exit strategy is Wisconsin senator Russ Feingold.] It’s time for senators and members of Congress, especially those from my own party, to be less timid while this administration neglects urgent national security priorities in favor of staying a flawed policy course in Iraq, ... Let’s see if we can remove the troops after we succeed with a series of steps by the end of December 2006.
  Russ Feingold

 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites: / Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty: / Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty: / Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief and his brethren an hundred and thirty: / Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred: / Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore: / Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.

 And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread was, / And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold, / And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple.

 Both 'Freaky Friday' and 'Mean Girls' were movies, not unlike this, that you went into with low expectations, but I was delighted by. Romantic comedy is delicate, in developing the story, in casting, getting the right two people together, and directing it. In this one, even more so, because it deals with life and death, too. It could be melodramatic in the wrong hands, and (Waters) needed to balance these elements. I think he was able to let both things live, and that it had an emotional reality but it never let go of its comic heart.

 Dean graduated from California two years ago and went into the Army, ... He's overseas now, and some of my other friends also have joined the military. My mother also got me interested by showing me pictures on the Internet of our soldiers and the conditions in which they are living in the Middle East. Their homes, in many cases, are in ditches and in the sand. I also learned that they really are in need of some of the basic day-to-day items most of us might take for granted, so I thought that would be the most useful thing to pursue.

 Even though college was a great experience and it got me out of the retail world and into a graphics-related career, I feel that most of my actual drawing skills have been self-taught. I've always known that I could draw, but I don't think I really tried to push myself or improve as an artist until recent years, and as a result I think I'm a much better illustrator today than I was even a year ago. It took me awhile to realize that in order to grow as an artist, I have to evolve and open myself to new ideas, techniques and challenges.

 He loves his wife so much that he thinks he is doing something to protect and save her, ... But what he's really doing is he's getting addicted to power. The more power he gets the more he wants and then once you do that, there's nothing left because you're willing to sacrifice everything. At the end of the day, Anakin sacrifices his family. He does fulfill his destiny after another 25 years and lets his son live and basically dies redeeming himself. But he goes through a lot of s--- and causes a lot of pain to people for a long time.

 HOG, n. A bird remarkable for the catholicity of its appetite and serving to illustrate that of ours. Among the Mahometans and Jews, the hog is not in favor as an article of diet, but is respected for the delicacy and the melody of its voice. It is chiefly as a songster that the fowl is esteemed; the cage of him in full chorus has been known to draw tears from two persons at once. The scientific name of this dicky-bird is _Porcus Rockefelleri_. Mr. Rockefeller did not discover the hog, but it is considered his by right of resemblance.
  Ambrose Bierce

 How weak is thine heart, saith the LORD GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman; / In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire; / But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband! / They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.

 I am concerned about information I have received indicating that President Bush, himself may have supplanted the role of veteran career litigators at the Department of Justice, ... As a result, I am particularly interested in learning about what role, if any, Phil Perry, associate attorney general and Vice President Cheney's son-in-law; Alberto Gonzales, assistant to the president and White House counsel; and Larry Lindsey, assistant to the president for economic policy and director, National Economic Council, played in this decision.

 I am thrilled to be honored by MIPCOM. It is especially gratifying to be recognized for contributions to international television. Crossing borders - not only between nations, but also between cultures and media - is a key element of both my business and philanthropic activities. Moreover I am honored to be in the company of others who have received the Personality of the Year Award, all of whom have made groundbreaking contributions to our field. Of course, credit for the accomplishments that have led to this award is not mine alone.

 I commend Wal-Mart for taking this important step of establishing an Employment Practices Advisory Panel and for selecting such highly distinguished leaders to participate in this effort. Dennis Archer and Vilma Martinez are two of the most well respected civil rights and employment opportunity experts in the nation. They both have a lifetime of service and commitment to promoting social justice, equality and diversity. With this Panel, Wal-Mart is moving in the right direction to achieve a broader positive impact for their workforce.

 I don't get angry, I just laugh at it, ... The numbers are right there and show everything clearly. I guess people are sometimes afraid to go with the clear-cut guy and decide to go with the hype instead. Don't get me wrong, J.J. is a great shooter and a great player. You'd be stupid to think he's not a great player considering what he does for Duke. But Salim can create his shot against anyone, somebody 6-foot-4, 6-7, fast, long, tall. It doesn't matter. I don't see how anybody can say a college player is a better shooter than Salim.
