military museums years
Some people have criticized the United States and the United States military for guarding oil fields and not guarding the Iraqi National Museum which had priceless antiquities in it. They say that this shows a fundamental lack of respect for Iraqi history. I want to remind those people of this: The oldest relics in the museum, 5,000 or 6,000 years old. That oil is 65 million years old. You had to guard that. ... Those antiquities will only last another 5,000 or 6,000 years. When we burn that oil, those fumes will linger long after.
creating body foxes
Fox opposes a Syria peace plan because its modus operandi is to foment dissent in the form of a relentless and irrational contrarianism to Barack Obama and all things Democratic, to advance its ultimate objective of creating a deliberately misinformed body politic whose fear, anger, mistrust, and discontent is the manna upon which it sustains its parasitic succubus-like existence.
careers want proud
I want to look back on my career and be proud of the work, and be proud that I tried everything.
world internet-users networking
The Internet is just a world passing around notes in a classroom.
party independent apology
The Republican party is the party of nostalgia. It seeks to return America to a simpler, more innocent and moral past that never actually existed. The Democrats are utopians. They seek to create an America so fair and non-judgmental that life becomes an unbearable series of apologies. Together, the two parties function like giant down comforters, allowing a candidate to disappear into the enveloping softness, protecting them from exposure to the harsh weather of independent thought.
christian believe thinking
They always throw around this term 'the liberal elite.' And I kept thinking to myself about the Christian right. What's more elite than believing that only you will go to heaven?
teaching people racism
The overwhelming condemnation makes it clear we have made enormous progress in teaching everyone that racism is bad. Where we seem to have dropped the ball... is in teaching people what racism actually is ... which allows people to say incredibly racist things while insisting they would never.
absurdity
I have complete faith in the continued absurdity of whatever’s going on.
fathers-day dad fatherhood
Fatherhood is great because you can ruin someone from scratch.
graduation curriculum life-is
The unfortunate, yet truly exciting thing about your life, is that there is no core curriculum. The entire place is an elective.
smart hungry break
Why is it that if you take advantage of a corporate tax break you're a smart businessman, but if you take advantage of something so you don't go hungry, you're a moocher?
ifs
If everything is amplified, we hear nothing.
strong enough regimes
If your regime is not strong enough to handle a joke, then you don't have a regime.
humorous talking snakes
Yes, reason has been a part of organized religion, ever since two nudists took dietary advice from a talking snake.
