We have all had the experience at some point in our lives of sitting across from someone whose favorite subject is themselves. This is true of nearly everyone to some respect - but for some people, it is a particularly acute problem.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
You have the right to free speech as an American - you have no right to use YouTube to do it. And the mobs that exist can form very quickly if they are offended by your presence there.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
One of the things I endeavor to remind people of consistently when I am asked to speak to groups around the country is to consider the possibility that we are led by a pack of idiots. This is not out of any animus toward our leadership class, but borne out of experience.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
I have seen a man charged with revolutionizing incredibly complex government information technology systems who did not know how to use a thumb drive.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
One of the frequent blind spots for economic libertarians, speaking as one who has personally dealt with this log in the eye, is a tendency to allow principles of how economies work and the beauty of trade to make us ignore perceived threats animating people who value more than just the power to buy and sell.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Conservatives recognize that college campuses and their frames of reality have an outsized impact on the culture, training the next generation of leaders.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
It is no accident that the place that lends itself to creating conflicts between the dominant order of thought and people who want to speak their minds freely is the college campus, where conservatives feel outnumbered and crushed by a system of higher education that believes in academic freedom for me, not for thee.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
When I was much younger, my siblings and I would routinely tune in to watch 'Bill Nye the Science Guy' on PBS. He was a fascinating instructor bent on helping kids achieve a basic understanding of science. When he engaged in politics, it was only very briefly if at all.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
We must not fall into the trap of thinking speech that offends is speech that must be forbidden. A healthy culture demands that much of us, to equip the next generation of Americans with the knowledge and reason they will need to confront an uncertain future.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Gawker was a site built to destroy lives. Its mission was to discover the worst moment in a person's life - and then publicize it for profit.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Gawker thrived on embarrassment and shame, seeking to demolish not just celebrities or politicians but average random people whose sins it would expose for traffic and commenters who gloried in its actions.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Throughout the history of America, we have been a nation driven by the idea of the frontier - a place where law was slim and liberty was enormous, where you could make your way in the world based on your own ambition and abilities, not fenced in by the limitations of society.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
For being the largest generation in American history, the Millennial generation inspires a ridiculous degree of overgeneralization.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
The senior thesis of Hillary D. Rodham, Wellesley College class of 1969, has been speculated about, spun, analyzed, debated, criticized and defended. But rarely has it been read, because for the eight years of Bill Clinton's presidency it was locked away.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
Wellesley's president, Nannerl Overholser Keohane, approved a broad rule with a specific application: The senior thesis of every Wellesley alumna is available in the college archives for anyone to read - except for those written by either a 'president or first lady of the United States.'
Quote by -Bill Dedman
Although some Clinton biographers have been quick to label Alinsky a communist, he maintained that he never joined the Communist Party.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
Though some student activists of the 1960s may have idolized Alinsky, he didn't particularly idolize them.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
When Goldberg's 'Liberal Fascism' came out in January 2008, his employer 'National Review Online' announced that Tribune Media Services, which carries Goldberg's opinion columns, had 'nominated' Goldberg for a Pulitzer in commentary.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
The Obama administration is fighting to block access to names of visitors to the White House, taking up the Bush administration argument that a president doesn't have to reveal who comes calling to influence policy decisions.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
Groups that advocate open government have argued that it's vital to know the names of White House visitors, who may have an outsized influence on policy matters.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
The main threads running through the lives of W. A. Clark and his daughter Huguette include the costs of ambition, the burdens of inherited wealth, the fragility of reputation, the folly of judging someone's life from the outside, and the tension between engaging with the world, with all its risks, and keeping a safe distance from danger.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
NBC News found that FEMA has redrawn maps even for properties that have repeatedly filed claims for flood losses from previous storms. At least some of the properties are on the secret 'repetitive loss list' that FEMA sends to communities to alert them to problem properties.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
In more than 500 instances, from the Gulf of Alaska to Bar Harbor, Maine, FEMA has remapped waterfront properties from the highest-risk flood zone, saving the owners as much as 97 percent on the premiums they pay into the financially strained National Flood Insurance Program.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
FEMA says that it does not factor in previous losses into its decisions on applications to redraw the flood zones.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
In New York, FEMA granted the Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club's request to be remapped from the high-risk flood zone in August 2012 - just two months before the club was damaged and its outbuildings destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, which stacked up yachts at its docks like pick-up sticks.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
New flood maps in many states have raised the estimation of flood risks along rivers, streams and oceans, adding many properties to flood zones for the first time.

Quote by -Bill Dedman

Quote by -Bill Dedman
In the Illinois State Capitol, in Springfield, farmer-legislators write the agriculture laws.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
Like most other states, Illinois has little regulation of the economic interests of legislators and relies on public disclosure to keep the lawmaking honest.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
Unlike the United States Congress, which mostly forbids outside employment, state legislatures are generally composed of people with other careers.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
In Illinois, where legislators are paid $45,000, plus as much as $10,000 for leadership work, about half are full-time politicians.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
The Secret Service once watched for people who fit the popular profile of dangerousness: the lunatic, the loner, the threatener, the hater.
Quote by -Bill Dedman
If police officers routinely issue tickets for the most serious traffic offenses, they'll be treating drivers of all races, sexes, and ages equally.
