Here are some of my personal deal breakers: Inarticulation, a favorite book that can be purchased in an airport, exposed thongs over them lowrider jeans, trick hoez, haterz, playaz,mouth breathers. If those things don't apply to you then you pass round one. Round two consists of dudes who wear pink shirts with the collars filpped up and folks who answer "And then some!" when I inquire as to whether they found all their groceries ok. Big ups to all those who keep score at baseball games, put their families first and/or understand that rap and country music are pretty much the same thing.

If you cannot be merciful, at least speak as though you are a sinner. If you are not a peacemaker, at least do not be a troublemaker. If you cannot be assiduous, at least in your thought be like a sluggard. If you are not victorious, do not exalt yourself over the vanquished. If you cannot close the mouth of a man who disparages his companion, at least refrain from joining him in this. When I was young, I said to God, god, tell me the mystery of the universe. But God answered, that knowledge is for me alone. So I said, God, tell me the mystery of the peanut. Then God said, well, George, that's more nearly your size. Beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man. �I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against.� Great joy in Camp we are in view of the Ocean, this great Pacific Ocean which we been so long anxious to see and the roaring or noise made by the waves braking on the rocky shores (as I suppose) may be heard distinctly. In the terrible years of the Yezhov terror I spent seventeen months waiting in line outside the prison in Leningrad. One day somebody in the crowd identified me . . . and asked me in a whisper . . . "Can you describe this?" And I said: "I can." "We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states. We coach Little League in the blue states, and yes, we've got some gay friends in the red states. There are patriots who opposed the war, and patriots who supported it. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the Stars and Stripes, all of us defending the United States of America." "I would not only reappoint Mr. Greenspan," McCain said, "if Mr. Greenspan should happen to die _ God forbid _ I would do like we did in the movie, 'Weekend at Bernie's.' I'd prop him up and put a pair of dark glasses on him and keep him as long as we could." "Anger is not going to change this country and do what needs to be done for America."
