If the truth be told, we are a society that is dripping in racism. This is not in the least surprising.

I've criticized Republicans for their lack of fiscal discipline when they controlled Congress before 2007.

Under House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's budget, we will double the national debt in five years and triple it in 10.

At school, I was never given a sense that poetry was something flowery or light. It's a complex and controlled way of using language. Rhythms and the music of it are very important. But the difficulty is that poetry makes some kind of claim of honesty.

She wasn't our leader in a lot of categories, but she was the most consistent all-around player for us, our main leader. She plays a constant game.

It's been a long time since I had someone like that, for the boys and girls.

She really stepped it up and controlled the pace of games. She started to find herself in our offense and create a little bit. She's a real good passer.

Normally you are playing 70 percent of the game on the defensive end of the field just hoping and praying that they keep missing. Today we controlled it and had the better play. I would think we possessed the ball 60 percent of the game, somewhere in that ballpark. The kids have worked hard and they have the ability. Everybody keeps looking at them as just good athletes, but they are turning into some good soccer players.

One thing that plagued us tonight was our offense was good until we got to the penalty area. We didn't continue to play the same game. At points we controlled the ball for a long time.

I was pleased with our defense. I knew they had some big-play capability. They'll run at you and run at you and all the sudden they catch you asleep. We pretty much controlled their running game and their quarterback has a good arm and he's tough, but if you take him out of the equation, they're not so explosive. With the exception of those last two drives, I don't think they had too many passing yards.
