"Lately it is as if the American government, having decided in its programs,assumptions,and philosophy to become more European, has at the same time decided it would be amusing to speak to the American people only in French."
"Which would give rise to a simple and wholly understandable suspicion that the government doesn't speak clearly about what it's doing for the reason that if people fully understood they would say, 'Oh, that's not a good idea,' or 'The cost of that will kill us.'"
"I continue to be astounded by how much Mr. Obama reminds me in his first few months of George W. Bush in his first few years. There is a sense with both men that they always pushed too hard, were always revolutionizing and doing 'the work of generations,' as Mr. Bush put it. They appear to share an insensitivity to the delicacy of even so great a nation as ours, an inability to see limits, and to know at a certain point that what you do with a nation becomes what you do to it."

Phil Jackson's job should be on the line right now...If he can't lead the Lakers to the title this year he should be canned...that the Lakers are tied up with the M.A.S.H.-unit Rockets is a travesty...
