Idaho Quotations | Page 2

As I travel around Idaho and visit with seniors, I hear almost universal concern about the rising cost of health care, particularly the cost of prescription drugs.

That's the best thing about writing, when you're in that zone, you're porous, ready to absorb the solution.

The truth is, Idaho has some of the lowest property taxes in the country and our system is really pretty balanced and not in need of dramatic change. But it seems pretty clear that something will come out of the Legislature this year, probably a mix of several approaches. Because there is no single silver bullet.

These girls have been focused all year. After (2004's) loss, every girl got an 8x10 photo of the Idaho Center with Feb. 19, 2005 written on it. Because that was the goal -- to show everybody we could win it all.

And it makes me very proud that the kids of East Idaho are stepping forth the way they are, it's, ya know, a lot of work to do that and it shows that the kids these days are concerned about other people.

All week I've been reading about how important the Idaho game is to the University of Washington's season, ... Idaho!

The drought here in southwestern Idaho is over. Even if we just have normal precipitation from this point on we'll finish in very good shape for all our reservoirs and streams.

The challenge here is to win, to compete for the conference championship and to go to bowl games. Yeah, I love it here. I came here because I'm a football coach and I want to help the University of Idaho become successful.

The first game we had a chance to win and we rebounded and fought back, but we didn't get any reward (in a loss to Louisville). Then we fought back in our last game (against Idaho State) and won. Now we have even more players sidelined. Now we'll really see how we deal with adversity, because this is a chance to prove we really are a different team this year.

I loved to dance and went to Studio 54 at least twice a week. But I always felt nervous around the people there. I was in awe of that whole Halston-Liza Minnelli crowd. To me, they were the real celebrities, and I was just a girl from Idaho.

Ahead and to the west was our ranger station - and the mountains of Idaho, poems of geology stretching beyond any boundaries and seemingly even beyond the world.

The last fumble, I really felt it wasn't a fumble, but it's over with now, there's nothing I can do about it. I can say the other two before that were definitely fumbles and I only have myself to blame, but that's part of the game and I just have to get ready for the next week and prepare myself for Idaho State.

Those who are the most devout, outstanding Unification Church members are they the most beautiful people externally or just so-so? Very often, those who have the features of an Idaho potato are the most loyal members of the Unification Church.

Of course, there isn't really a black population in Idaho or Utah.

I might go to some tiny little town in Idaho with, like, three people living there.

Forcing Mr. Duncan to go forward without adequate time to prepare will deprive him of his federal and Idaho Constitutional rights to the effective assistance of counsel, to prepare a defense and to basic fairness and due process.

I get tired of hearing it's a crummy world and that people are no damned good. What kind of talk is that? I know a place in Payette, Idaho, where a cook and a waitress and a manager put everything they've got into laying a chicken-fried steak on you.
