You know, if government were a product, selling it would be illegal. ... government contains impure ingredients - as anybody who's looked at congress can tell you. ... government practices deceptive advertising. and the merest glance at the federal budget is enough to convict the government of perjury, extortion, and fraud. ... in a nutshell: government should be against the law. term limits aren't enough. we need jail.

This is the first time a newly inaugurated president has had any impact on a current budget." what that means is that normally when a president's inaugurated in january, the budget for the first calendar year of his term or the first nine months is already done. so from january 21st all the way 'til october when the new budget's done, the president has to deal with the previous congress' budget and has nothing to say about it. what they're saying is that donald trump has had a record-breaking, never-before-seen thing by having an impact on the budget in his first year.

The proposed constitution, therefore, even when tested by the rules laid down by its antagonists, is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both. in its foundation it is federal, not national; in the sources from which the ordinary powers of the government are drawn, it is partly federal, and partly national; in the operation of these powers, it is national, not federal; in the extent of them again, it is federal, not national; and finally, in the authoritative mode of introducing amendments, it is neither wholly federal, nor wholly national.

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

I will continue to fight for legislation that forces congress to read the bills! i will fight for a vote on my bill that calls for a waiting period for each page of legislation. i will continue to object when congress sticks special interest riders on bills in the dead of night! and if congress refuses to obey its own rules, if congress refuses to pass a budget, if congress refuses to read the bills, then i say: sweep the place clean. limit their terms and send them home!

Traditional sales and marketing involves increasing market shares, which means selling as much of your product as you can to as many customers as possible. one-to-one marketing involves driving for a share of customer, which means ensuring that each individual customer who buys your product buys more product, buys only your brand, and is happy using your product instead of another to solve his problem. the true, current value of any one customer is a function of the customer's future purchases, across all the product lines, brands, and services offered by you.

Perfectionism means that you try desperately not to leave so much mess to clean up. but clutter and mess show us that life is being lived. clutter is wonderfully fertile ground - you can still discover new treasures under all those piles, clean things up, edit things out, fix things, get a grip. tidiness suggests that something is as good as it's going to get. tidiness makes me think of held breath, of suspended animation, while writing needs to breathe and move.

I know there are epic tales of romance, where love means you're supposed to die. where it's all about sacrifice. but i don't want to die. i don't want stephen to die. i'm looking for the scenario where we both get to live. where we can continue this marvel that is love and discovery and trust.
