What's interesting about the Graham case is that so much time was spent on the property records. There is some concern within the [assessing] association that it's going to make it harder for us, that there is going to be more of a focus on the records. It could have some repercussions. |

Whatever agreement we come to, if we do come to one, if it doesn't change business as usual in predatory lending practices and doesn't have real practical effect in reducing or eliminating these predatory loans, we're going to come back next year with very strong language to improve it. |
When Hurricane Katrina hit, they immediately began calling everyone on their roster. FEMA entered into an agreement with the International Fire Chief Association and were requesting teams of two firefighters to be sent to the devastated areas. Greg Hershey and I were both on the roster. |
When I first got here, I think I was a little overwhelmed for the first couple of weeks. But for me, it was just a matter of being comfortable and learning the whole surroundings. It all comes down to practice. I mean, if you feel good in practice, you're going to feel good in the game. |
When I was there, he was a great administrator and great boss. He did a whole lot for this community and for indigent clients. I think the good outweighed the bad. Plus, he helped springboard me to where I am now. He taught me a lot about criminal law and procedure. I'm indebted to him. |
When I'm out recruiting and out in the field, I have so many players to watch that I don't have time for a nice lunch or sit-down dinner. I usually bring a bunch of Power Bars with me, something quick and easy, so I can get to several different games and watch several different players. |
When people tell me to 'get started,' I think they are being incredibly blunt and presumptuous. Not everyone has their planets lined up for marriage and kids by their mid-30s and why should there be a stampede of bad choices because of external social pressures and bald biological fact? |
When President Bush selected John Roberts, he disarmed his critics. They went into this war disarmed, ... That's why I would say that if he found someone of the highest caliber (for the next vacancy), he'd be doing the political process, and the court, and the country the biggest favor. |

When the Senate returns they will consider a number of options to change the system and better enforce the existing rules. Sen. Talent has always been an advocate for positive change and he will thoughtfully consider ways to improve the system as the Senate prepares to debate the issue. |
When things are going bad is when you sit back and observe and see how people react. The thing I enjoyed about it is nobody pointed fingers and when you go through a stretch like that, a lot of negativity can creep in and I didn't see that. I liked that, and you don't see that too much. |
When we take a look at the budget for the National Institutes of Health at $28 billion, it is, candidly, scandalous that with our resources, our resource capability, research capability in biomedical science, that people are still dying of breast cancer or colon cancer or heart disease. |
When we're in an emergency situation, such as we were, retailers have the obligation not to increase their prices to the general public over what wholesalers are charging them. In an emergency situation, they shouldn't take advantage of that situation in order to increase their margins. |
When you are guaranteed you will win, you can take very inflammatory, very extreme positions. If you have to run in a district where where you might lose, you will move to the center. That is the beauty of the two party system in America as opposed to the parliamentary system in Europe. |
