  • Freedom in Iowa
    "I was leading in every poll. ... I regret that I didn't stay in,". "I would've won the race against (President Barack) Obama. He would've been easy. Hillary (Clinton) is tougher to beat than Obama, but Hillary is very beatable."

  • Middle Class Economics
    "This is fascinating," Obama said while discussing uses for grapheme, a very thin layer of carbon atoms. He called it amazing to think of a material stronger than steel and thin as paper. "If I was allowed to invest, I would want to invest in you guys." President Obama

  • The State of the Union 2015
    We decided once again to run the latest data through our highly scientific, incontrovertible ranking process—inspired, after all, by a 1931 H.L. Mencken magazine series delicately called “The Worst American State.”Mississippi
    Mencken might not have lived in the era of big data, let alone cultural sensitivity. But taking as granted a few of his basic ideas—that education, health and wealth generally make us better off, while crime, unemployment and death do not—we compiled 14 existing rankings of the 50 states and the District of Columbia Politico

  • The American Sniper-Killer
    My dad always said, ‘Snipers are cowards. They don’t believe in a fair fight. Like someone coming up from behind you and coldcocking you. Just isn’t right. It’s cowardly to shoot a person in the back,'”  Michael Moore

The teacher says, “And all the mourning has veiled the truth. It’s not lest we forget, but lest we remember. That’s what this [war memorial] is about … Because there’s no better way of forgetting something than by commemorating it.”Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

  • Dr King at 86
    To my knowledge he never suggested Selma as the venue for a march but he’s on record as urging King to do something to arouse the sleeping white conscience, and when violence met the marchers on that bridge, he knew the moment had come: He told me to alert the speechwriters to get ready and within days he made his own famous “We Shall Overcome” address that transformed the political environment.
