He probably could have gotten away with it if he'd been reasonable. But by asking for $200,000 from one payola victim, he's basically saying his services are worth a few million a year because he could easily try to shake down a dozen or two [dozen] people at the same time.

Stephen Dubner

It was unbelievable. Who would have ever thought that people from the Dakotas would shake hands with the Pope?

Stan Schmidt

We used motion to shake our guys free on that play. Adam made his best throw of the day, putting it right on the numbers, and he got great protection from the offensive line.

John Vaccaro

I've only spoken with UPN people a couple of times. It's not real clear how this is going to shake out as far as some markets where you have both a UPN and a WB affiliate.

Mike Brooks

The election application is an application for employment. Determine the best applicant for employment. Check their references. You will see that attorneys on both sides support me because they know they'll get a fair shake in my courtroom.

Gene Knize

We didn't play aggressive enough. We made a lot of mistakes, and we weren't able to shake it off.

Chris White

He can start anywhere else in the nation. We know we have to contain him when he's in the game, because he'll line up and run over you. He's quick for a big guy. He'll shake you now and then.

Michael Huff

We need to shake that sense of impending doom, ... To do that, we need to be physically tough, mentally tough and disciplined.

Brian Riley

Up to that point, our punt team had done very well, ... Two weeks earlier, I was leading the NFC in punting, and I thought I was punting well, but they thought that they needed to do something to shake things up.

Sean Landeta

They're a lot quicker than we are, probably all the way around, but we're a lot bigger than they are. It's hard to say how it's all going to shake out.

Tim Prescott

We were 0-4. It was time to shake it up a little bit. She works hard and brings another dimension to the game. We knew we needed to get her more minutes.

Nell Fortner

Normally, it's hard to put reforms in place when you have an existing structure. We don't have that now. This is a unique opportunity to give New Orleans and the Gulf Coast a better shake of it.

Mike Franc

It's not serious. I felt it running (from second to third) and then I felt it again going for a ball that Prince (Fielder) got. I couldn't shake it.

Rickie Weeks

It was a tough night for Al, but it's hard for a goalie if he makes a mistake, compared to a defenseman or forward. His play hasn't been up to the level before his injuries [in a 5-4 loss to Portland Jan. 14], but he has strong character, so he'll shake it off.

Ulf Samuelsson

By walking with and living in a group they will be able to shake off their laziness and selfishness.

Xu Xiangyang

To deny it or to shake your finger at it is a limited and very paternal... point of view in a sense.

Andrea Anderson

I think there's still just a long grinding process ahead of Brazil, as they try to shake through this.

David Malpass

I think the economy's in horrible trouble. Part of me just wants to grab Bush and shake his brains out.

Mary Thomas

I just hope this thing can shake out alright. I feel sorry for these elderly people - they are caught between insurance companies and government agencies, and that is not a good place to be.

Charles Pace

Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, "Shake well before using." That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.

Edward Everett Hale

Defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.

Edwin Markham

It was a very empowering experience for me to give birth that way. It was the most painful thing I've ever experienced, but I lived through it. Now I want to shake every pregnant woman I know and say 'have a home birth!

Susanne Scott Rosenfeld

It was absolutely horrible. It was more frustrating nights than you could shake a stick at.

Kevin Fry

It didn't even shake her up. She thought it was hilarious.

Elaine Williams

I could see his hoof prints digging in so I knew that I must be giving him a shake.

Ed Iten

We wanted to shake off (the Nogales) game as soon as we could and show everyone else that we are going to be right there.

Ernie Mejia

There's no way to tell how it's going to shake out. The deck is stacked against local communities.

Eric A. Burns

I'm proud of my kids. (This season) was kind of a roller coaster ride. For us to get here, I just shake my head. I'm kind of amazed we even got this far. We've gone through a lot this year. For our kids to hang in there and keep fighting, keep battling and give themselves a chance to play in a sectional is a tribute to the seniors.

Eric Bryan

Growing up in New England, being schooled and classically trained, it needed to shake, it needed to evolve.
