...think there is such a difference in the way insurance companies cover physical illnesses like heart disease and mental illnesses like schizophrenia? First of all, it's pretty easy to see that people kind of frown on mental illness. If your neighbor has a heart condition, it's, "Gee, poor Jane, she has to take care of her husband." But if the neighbor has a manic-depressive son, you're kind of mad at them because the kid misbehaves. Unless you're a very, very considerate neighbor that's gotten close to the family, you can't quite understand...
...Gee, I don’t know. If you hang around the pool long enough, you’re probably going to meet him. I’m sure he’s pretty busy with various obligations, but if he does go for the next Olympics, he’s going to have to be in the pool, so he won’t be too hard to find...

Britain is the "best place in the world to have a holiday," said Brown last summer. This from a man who was a regular visitor to Cape Cod until he became Prime Minister...
...Shearer: You know, that's one reason why I'm in this business - because I'm capable of perpetual, irrational surprise. [I thought] that even the normal risk-averse corporation would say, "Well, gee, Bush is at a 21% approval rating. I guess it's safe to do this now." I call Clear Channel "dead-enders," because it shows they are going to be the last guys standing: "No, no, no, he's great, he's great." We know that free speech isn't free, but now I'm learning that even paid speech isn't free...
