If I write a crappy comic book, it doesn't cost the budget of an emergent Third World nation. When you've got these kinds of sums involved in creating another two hours of entertainment for Western teenagers, I feel it crosses the line from being merely distasteful to being wrong. |
If in fact the OPEC countries can get together and cut supply, that would be great. I think what tends to happen is when we hear these kinds of announcements, oil stocks do extremely well and yet the truth is somewhat a little less exciting than what the announcement comes out as. |
If it appears the transfer station accepted a quantity (of asbestos) that is a risk to the public, our enforcement actions will be two-fold. We will ask them to correct the violation by abating the asbestos, which they may already be doing, and there will be a (financial) penalty. |
If Ryan wants to turn pro, I would probably back him. But he has to get that college education first. A lot of pros make it, but struggle. You've got to know how to promote yourself and your sponsors. You've got to have a business head on your shoulders when you get to that level. |
If the Democrats had any leadership or any message, they could be poised for a good year. But in the absence of that, they have not been able to capitalize on Republican woes. Because of the size of the GOP majority, Democrats have to run the board, and I don't see that happening. |
If the federal government in Washington has concluded that there are not shortages of gasoline, then it clearly is an example of big oil companies' price gouging. The Bush Administration and the FTC should immediately identify the companies that are profiting off of this disaster, |
If the legislators are listening to their constituents and their conscience, they will vote for a single levee board of qualified professionals. If it's politics as usual driving their choice, they will choose to fragment the levee board in another patronage politics smoke screen. |
If the market is now 250,000 (on payrolls) and people are talking even higher and that's what comes in, then there may be no reaction. Markets do focus on this one number far too heavily however and they will jump in either direction if the number comes in outside of expectations. |
If the president of Iraq is saying we can start drawing down troops from Iraq, then maybe we ought to start taking it seriously, ... So there are a lot of things we could do in Washington to help pay for this and, frankly, I think we have a moral obligation to our kids to do this. |
If the traffic is flowing across the Internet, you have no idea how many routers the traffic has gone through, which can impact the quality of the call, ... But if the traffic travels on your own network, you can control the quality. That could be reason enough to build a network. |
If there are things that need to go to court, or are pressing issues, it is always our policy to bump those up. We really don't foresee any situations where cases that are critical, that are going to court, or need to be worked on immediately cannot be bumped in front of the line. |
If they could come up and tell us that it was going to be all right and put it in the paper that the water's all right. I think that's the thing that bothers me most, that people don't want to buy your property right in here because they think the water's going to be contaminated. |
If they were to break loose, there is no telling where they're going to land. They can go for several blocks -- obviously do major damage -- so those areas around those buildings we are going to continue to keep closed off until we can get up there and take care of those problems. |
If this were women's NCAA basketball, this would be like going into Tennessee - there's nothing like it. We're fired up for this; when you walk out and there are 15,000 people screaming and the walk-out is like the NBA finals - hey, it this doesn't get our kids ready nothing will. |
If we didn't do that (go small), we lose. Had we walked up and down the floor with them and let them pound it inside, we would have been in much deeper foul trouble, and we would have had nothing on the offensive end. I'll always give up rebounding for defense and great quickness. |
