A: "Nope,the Dixie Chicks.I was so proud to be given 2 guitar solos on that record.Especially since they were able to write great songs and channel all of what happened in the last few years into palatable music,despite having everything that could be going against them going against them." - John Mayer commenting on upcoming Grammy Awards...

"Iraq's Shitte majority is the insurmountable obstacle,the lurking snake,the crafty and malicious scorpion,the spying enemy...the danger from Shia...is greater...than the Americans...I come back and again say that the only solution is for us to strike the religious ,military,and other cadres among the Shia with blow after blow until they bend to the Sunnis." - Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi,self-oppointed leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq,in letter to Bin Laden

Gene Upshaw the exectutive director of National Football League players union commenting on retired players complaint about connection of concussions while playing ,to Alzheimer's disease later in life... "the brain damaged old-timers can complain all they want,they don't pay my salary."

EDIT: this topic should be a thread all by itself...There is proof that players in high-contact sports suffer from Post-Concussion Syndrone leading to early stages of Alzeimers Disease...the University of North Carolina tested 2,552 retired NFL players and found 24% had suffered at least 3 concussions making them 2 to 3 more likely to suffer from depression and 3 times as likely to have mild cognitive impairment,a precursor to Alzeimers Disease...
