Television is just one more facet of that considerable segment of our society that never had any standard but the soft buck.
Raymond Chandler

Rachel Maddow

Jim Walton
I spent a lot of my time working in the American module, and he would stay in the Russian segment working on his things, and we'd meet up at meal times. So it actually worked out very well.
Leroy Chiao
Reaching out to Hispanics is critical to our future. The fastest-growing, and most conservative, segment of the population are natural Republicans.
