I was always impressed with her intellect. She was educated. She was politically astute. That is a very important aspect of leadership: If you are not wise, if you are not familiar with how to deal with people different from yourself, then you can't be an effective leader. She could talk to anyone. She was an effective legislator. She knew how to get legislation passed for those less fortunate. |
I was surprised, yeah. I don't know their cap situation and all those considerations, but he made a tremendous contribution to them at a very definable position. You either make (the kick) or you don't. It's not like analyzing a tackle, where you say he didn't move his feet quickly, or slide properly. A kicker is easy to measure and he made all the important kicks, plus the clutch ones as well. |
I went into spring training that first year in '82, and No. 23 was hanging up in my locker. I thought it was kind of an odd number. I believe I asked for No. 14, and [clubhouse manager Yosh Kawano] totally turned me down and said that number has been taken and retired. Yosh Kawano has been a good friend of mine, and he was the one that picked [No. 23] out for me and that was the perfect number. |
I'm excited the committee will see first hand the impact on Louisiana's coast. We are willing to do our share to supply the nation's energy needs, but in return we need the nation's help to rebuild the damage to our coastline. I am thrilled the committee has accepted my invitation to see firsthand the critical roll that Louisiana's ports and industry play in supplying our nation's energy needs. |

I'm really looking forward to my first Daytona 24 hour race. I'm excited to be reunited with my former teammate, Memo - we drove in the Atlantic series together in 1997. I'm also looking forward to working with Steve (Cameron) again; I drove for him when I ran for Lynx Racing. This team won the last race of the season last year and I feel that they're definitely capable of winning the Rolex 24. |
I'm trying to stay positive but it's really hard. I guess one silver lining is that October, historically, has often been a period when we've been able to put in a good bottom and see real capitulation. We've already hit several lows this month and from a technical standpoint, it looks like because we are at such extreme levels, we really could see some sort of rally before the end of the year. |
I'm very confident about Dick Gephardt's organization in Iowa. Dean's going to need all this help. This moves things into a situation where it's a jump ball, it's an organizational war, and both parties are going to come to the table very well armed. But look, AFSCME has 13,000 members in Iowa. SEIU has 1,200. We've got 50,000 union members in Iowa. Organizationally, we're still in great shape. |
I've discovered this trend in popular criticism that because our first record was such a -- critical darling ... that now people are hesitant to give us too many accolades. We didn't know exactly how we needed to change. But we knew from the experience from 'Room on Fire' where people, where critics mainly, were saying that it was sonically too similar to the first record, we needed to step up. |
I've heard it said that we are the first generation to have the ability to turn the Titanic around, ... I take my daughter to the office with me. They'll help with those things they can, putting stamps on envelopes, helping at benefits. They spend a lot of time in the natural world and have learned to love and respect it. They see the interconnectedness and they see that they make a difference. |
I've received dozens of requests from media outlets wanting to see the rejected commercials. GoDaddy.com has nothing to hide. In fact, I think when you see our commercials many of you will wonder what all the fuss was about. You decide. Take a look and let us know if our ideas, the commercials we produced and the concepts that were rejected are really too much for America's Super Bowl audience. |
If people work together, if they can keep a cooperative spirit and use their ingenuity and balance it all with good humor and good will, then there's nothing to be afraid of. That's the sappy part of it, ... On the other hand, every Halloween for many years when my kids were trick-or-treating I would put on my 'Ghostbusters' jumpsuit with a police flashlight to protect all the kids from ghosts. |
If the Bush administration is so certain Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction, why don't they present the evidence to the American public? We are not anxious for an obviously cruel dictator to build up an arsenal, but we're also not ready to go to war for a mere possibility. If you're afraid your neighbor will kill you, you go to the police, you don't shoot him and claim self-defense. |
If the City Council does not radically alter the trend in housing, then Davis in 2020 will become a much more exclusive community and ... a larger percentage of its workforce than today will be living elsewhere. ... And that, in particular, if we do not require a good portion of the new houses to be permanently affordable, then while we may have smaller homes, they will be very expensive homes. |
