We're facing a natural disaster in the middle of an economic disaster. The federal government has to balance its budget the way our families do. ↗

There could have been more planning in New Orleans, but you look at all the devastation that happened there - have we gotten to 3,000 deaths yet? For that magnitude of a disaster, that's not all that bad. ↗

I can't wait to get my face lifted but my husband says, 'No, don't do it.' I think if it makes you feel better, go for it, but it would be nice if it looked good. There are a lot of people out there who are disasters and you think, 'Why did you do that?' ↗

Jesús, alguna vez quise decir las palabras, pero apenas podía admitirlo ante mí mismo, y mucho menos a ella. En el fondo yo sabía que era un pedazo de mierda, y ella se merecía algo mejor. Una parte de mí quería que la llevara a la habitación y mostrarle por qué ella era diferente, pero también fue lo único que me detuvo. Ella era mi opuesto: Inocente en la superficie, y dañada profundamente en su interior. Había algo en ella que necesitaba en mi vida, y aunque no estaba seguro de lo que era, no podía dar a mis malos hábitos y joderla. Ella era el tipo de las que perdona, yo podía ver, pero tenía líneas dibujadas que yo sabía que no debía cruzarlas. ↗

My idea of an amusement park story is getting adventurers to go tour environmental disaster areas. After all, if the entire Great Barrier Reef gets killed, which seems like an extremely lively possibility, what are you going to do with all that rotting limestone? ↗
