I have many banks of sounds that we hear that can be manipulated in the machines.
Mick HarrisIt still boils down to one thing: The left cannot beat Fox News in the arena of cable news. The media, the left cannot beat Fox News. The only option they have is to destroy it. Because they can't outcompete it as is evidenced by ratings day in and day out since 1996, when Fox debuted. The standard operating procedure for the left is not to level the playing field but to close it. It's to deny participation on the playing field, not level it. No tolerance. No fairness.

There's only so much the body can do and once you're done, you can't go back in time.

But when decisions have to be made, a strong character makes them and doesnโt wait for someone else.

Deb CalettiHe had been to see Mrs. Erlich just before starting home for the holidays, and found her making German Christmas cakes.

I've been practicing and working on them. You can't do everything good.
