I remember one parent-teacher conference at the lower school, and Barack went, and there were SWAT guys on top of the roof of the school. And Malia was like, 'Dad, really? Really? Do they really have to be up there?' And it's like, yeah, honey, they do.
And, of course, Barbados is the other place where I like to be.
Banks' beer. There's nothing like it! To Brazil. And to Barbados justice.
Santa Barbara is my hood. I mean, it's not much of a hood, but it is definitely like my hood. I claim Santa Barbara like I claim my family. I'm going to be married and buried there.
Farming as we do it is hunting, and in the sea we act like barbarians.
Under Obama's intentional neglect, the most barbaric force in modern history - the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) - has taken form as a monstrous hoard and, like a hurricane, gathered power.
There is so much that must be done in a civilized barbarism like war.
I use ginger like garlic. I love it for steaming fish and making barbecue sauces or roasted chicken.
I like to sit around the pool, listen to music, barbecue, grill, stuff like that. Just the guy next door, I guess.
I'm not a huge fan of North Carolina barbecue. I like Memphis style barbecue and Kansas City.
Caste is not a physical object like a wall of bricks or a line of barbed wire which prevents the Hindus from co-mingling and which has, therefore, to be pulled down. Caste is a notion; it is a state of the mind.
When I was growing up, my idea of a writer was someone like Sven Hassel, that mysterious Danish author who wrote thrillers about men clambering over walls and getting tangled in barbed wire.
I was, like, a total cliched '80s child. I had Barbies, obviously, as well as My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch Kids, but I used to destroy them. I used to draw all over their faces and cut off their hair.
We like that when girls look at us, they don't see perfect little blond-haired, blue-eyed Barbie dolls.
In 2003, I wrote a New York Times best-seller called 'Shut Up & Sing,' in which I criticized celebrities like the Dixie Chicks & Barbra Streisand who were trashing then-President George W. Bush. I have used a variation of that title for more than 15 years to respond to performers who sound off on politics.
I like a little Barbra Streisand!
I like to walk around with bare feet and I don't like to comb my hair.
I always like to sing barefoot.
The systematic dismantling of reproductive rights, much like the takedown of collective bargaining, has been taking place in full view.
I play the baritone horn - which is like a mini tuba, and is the least sexy instrument you can choose, and I generally say I don't play one so I don't have to acknowledge it. I also play fife.
