Let’s take up the most important issues first. Let’s take up the reauthorizations first; let’s take up the appropriations bill first, not wait until four days beforehand – no one has mentioned anything, and, all of a sudden, somebody looks at their watch and says, ‘Hey, in four days, the government is going to run out of money.’ – Dan Webster
I grew up working on farms. You’d do anything for money. You’d pick blueberries in the summertime for weeks; you’d cut down, like, spruce and fir trees for pulp. – Diego Klattenhoff

When I was young and it was someone’s birthday, I didn’t have the money to buy nice presents so I would take my mom’s camera and make a movie parody for whoever’s birthday it was. When I’d show it them, they’d die laughing. That reaction was a high for me, and I loved that feeling. – David Henrie

For the women in California, they’re just downtrodden because they’re so gorgeous here. Every hot cheerleader comes to California to make it. The men don’t want to get married, they’re lazy lions.
