"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

First I heard of it.
I saw the effects when the Alyeska pipeline was still in kit form at Valdez. Was that ’73?
I’d put money on the fact that this (the charges contained in the indictment) is just the tip of the iceberg with this man.
Another example of how the Republicans really did screw up the opportunity given.
Any chance the Republicans have depends on being different from the Democrats in so many ways. You wouldn’t think it would be that hard. This is the standard stuff you expect to see from the democratic aldermen in Chicago. The Stevens case shows just how much he was just another pol. What an example from the senior Republican senator! There is a significant minority of the conservatives in this country that believes “they deserve to lose” and this guy is another example of what feeds that fire.
“..and a 1999 Land Rover exchanged for a 35-year-old Ford Mustang,that he received from VECO and its chairman…”
That heinous act surely tipped the balance…
