It used to be that what was going to be written on my tombstone was 'Benjamin Wittes, former 'Washington Post' editorial writer,' or 'Benjamin Wittes, who wasn't even a lawyer.' Now it's just, like, 'Benjamin Wittes, who's a friend of Jim Comey's.'
Let us turn elsewhere, to the wasps and bees, who unquestionably come first in the laying up of a heritage for their offspring.
I'm not one of those who thinks there is something inherently bad or inferior about watching television.
Equally, though, there are guys who play England Under 19 who don't even play First Class cricket. It is a watershed in the careers in many ways.
I would vote for Bush if for no other reason than to be at the airport waving off all the people who say they are going to London if he wins again. Someone has got to stay behind.
They are the weakest, however strong, who have no faith in themselves or their own powers.
I have weathered many different storms and I know who I am and my friends know who I really am.
Anybody who can afford a box of business cards can afford a Web site. Any company with an 800 number can move its services to the Web for peanuts by comparison. The extreme case of corporate promotion is to strip away all other aspects of your business and sell goods or services via the Net alone, as amazon.com has done with books.
In the U.S., we are free to speak our minds and to spend money without being forced to reveal our identities - except when using the Web. Browsing the Web leaves digital tracks everywhere in the form of log files, and anyone who hosts a Web site can be easily traced.
And as soon as the Internet hit and people started having their own web sites, I realized that people who did what I did, our positions were being threatened because, as journalists, we were the conduits between the celebrities and the public.
O month when they who love must love and wed.
It is wrong for the federal government to deny benefits or privileges to couples who have lawfully wed.
I think a lot of people who feel as though they desperately want to be married oftentimes simply desperately want to have a wedding.
I don't know too many kids who ask to weed the garden.
My father would give his dinner to any hungry kids who walked by and then go in the backyard and pick weeds from the yard to eat.
He who fears to weep, should learn to be kind to those who weep.
Small players learn to be intuitive, to anticipate, to protect the ball. A guy who weighs 90 kilos doesn't move like one who weighs 60. In the playground I always played against much bigger kids and I always wanted the ball. Without it, I feel lost.
I believe that behind both the person who weighs 400 pounds and the one who weighs 85 there is a lot of baggage, and it has nothing to do with their bodies.
I'm not one of those guys who gets stronger in the weight room.
Everyone who goes to a job he doesn't like is a lot weirder than I am.
