„Overall, the typical American defined as poor by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a stove, a clothes washer and dryer, and a microwave. He has two color televisions, cable or satellite TV reception, a VCR or DVD player, and a stereo. He is able to obtain medical care. His home is in good repair and is not overcrowded.“

„"So we went into a field of wheat," Seymour writes, "and put our carpet bags down for a pillow and pulled some sheaves of wheat over us and committed ourselves to the care of our Heavenly Father." It was too cold to sleep very well. The next day they walked to Grimsby and preached to a large crowd in the street. "We had good order [but] when we had done speaking some of the people said, ‘Put them under the pump,’ but some of them objected, and so they followed us down the street and threw stones at us, but God be praised, we were not injured" (58–61).“http://hobbs.parkinsonfamily.org/histories/ hobbs-ben.htm - Cached

„The American Spectator is sadly gone now (what's left of it is called the American Prowler), a victim of its own overzealous pursuit of President Clinton and its dalliance with the loathsome David Brock. But many of the best writers on the Right once wrote in its pages, among them P. O'Rourke. Mr. O'Rourke is one of those writers who entertains us often enough that he can be forgiven for cashing in once in awhile, which is fortunate, because this is only barely a book. It starts with a very funny column, A Call for a New McCarthyism (American Spectator, July 1989), in which he calls for a new blacklist. Unlike the McCarthy era list though : "The distinguishing feature of this cluster of dunces is not subversion but silliness." And rather than barring these dunces from working and trying to hush up their views, he has the more diabolical idea of exposing them and their ideas to the harsh light of day :“http://www.brothersjudd.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/reviews.detail/book_id/.../ american%20spe.htm - Cached
„Asked if anti-American candidates might run in the Iraqi elections, Grossman said (apparently with a straight face): "That's why we are going to have an embassy there, and it's going to have a lot of people and an ambassador." Asked by Sen. John Corzine about the possibility that a new Iraqi government post-June 30 might do something opposed to U.S. foreign policy, Grossman said that is "why we want to have an American ambassador in Iraq."“http://www.0xdeadbeef.org/blog/jake/archives/ 005219.html - Cached

„Islamic militants' main objective is not conquest, but to beat back what they perceive as an aggressive West that is supposedly trying to complete the project begun during the Crusades and colonial periods of denigrating, dividing, and humiliating Islam. The militants' secondary goal is the establishment of the caliphate, or single Islamic state, in the lands roughly corresponding to the furthest extent of the Islamic empire of the late first and early second centuries. Today, this state would encompass the Middle East, the Maghreb (North Africa bordering the Mediterranean), Andalusia in southern Spain, Central Asia, parts of the Balkans, and possibly some Islamic territories in the Far East.“http://www.0xdeadbeef.org/blog/jake/archives/ 2004_04.html#005241 - Cached

„There cannot be a clearer demonstration of any thing, than several nations of the Americans are of this, who are rich in land, and poor in all the comforts of life; whom nature having furnished as liberally as any other people, with the materials of plenty, i.e. a fruitful soil, apt to produce in abundance, what might serve for food, raiment, and delight; yet for want of improving it by labour, have not one hundredth part of the conveniencies we enjoy: and a king of a large and fruitful territory there, feeds, lodges, and is clad worse than a day-labourer in England.“http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/000372.html - Cached

„"The facts are clear: The diabetes epidemic sweeping the U.S. is hitting the African American community particularly hard, according to doctors." (2) Diabetes is defined as, "A disease that affects the body's ability to produce or respond to insulin, a hormone that allows blood glucose (blood sugar) to enter the cells of the body and be used for energy." (1) There are two types of diabetes: type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes, which usually begins during childhood or adolescence, "Is a condition characterized by high blood glucose levels caused by total lack of insulin. This occurs when the body's immune system attacks the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas and destroys them.." (2) Type 2 Diabetes, most common form of the disease, "Usually occurring in middle age adults after the age of forty-five, is a condition characterized by high blood glucose levels caused by either lack of insulin or the body's inability to use insulin efficiently." (2) National health surveys over the past 35 years show that the number of African American's that have been diagnosed with diabetes is drastically increasing.“http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/biology/b103/f03/web2/ rkallon.html - Cached
„At holiday time, the average American gains between one and 10 pounds -- and I gain 15. It's when people eat real food, salty and rich with animal fats, and drink to excess. And, sadly, it's when you can't get through a single meal without some neurotic idiot nervously commenting that "This meal is a heart attack on a plate!"“http://www.salon.com/health/feature/1999/12/24/eating_fat/ print.html - Cached
„Seventy-three percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and a third have an automatic dishwasher.As a group, America's poor are far from being chronically undernourished. The average consumption of protein, vitamins, and minerals is virtually the same for poor and middle-class children and, in most cases, is well above recommended norms. Poor children actually consume more meat than do higher-income children and have average protein intakes 100 percent above recommended levels.“http://billhobbs.com/hobbsonline/003052.html - Cached

„A few days ago, I posted this item criticizing a local TV news reporter for implying that that one reason we don't know how good or bad the holiday shopping season was is the rapid growth in the giving of "gift cards" - those credit card-like payment cards that are really just fancy gift certificates. I said that was silly because, with gift cards, "the retailer has already made the sale. The money is in the bank.“http://www.hobbsonline.blogspot.com/ 2002_12_01_hobbsonline_archive.html - Cached
