And so if instead you were to ask people - this started out as $500 million, and now it's pushing toward $700 million - and say, this is going to run about $1,000 a person, are you willing to commit that to have baseball come here to Washington? They're going to look at you and say, are you kidding me?

Thomas Myers

I think the average American has a better idea how to manage their health care costs, to make better decisions for their families than an insurance underwriter, an insurance company executive, or bureaucrat in Tallahassee or Washington.

Roger Oukrop

I refused to play this game, so I was punished. But this source game is not only played on Page Six. It is also played for high stakes on Wall Street and in Washington.

It makes one wonder: Where does the political reporter end and the political operative begin?

Skylar Diggins

I had practice yesterday, today, and I've got a game Thursday night, so I'm back into it. (Washington has) pretty much the same standard as all football teams.

The good thing about HBO is that they have the bigger picture in mind. And Last Chance for Animals has a (free-standing) bill pending in Congress called The Pet Safety and Protection Act. And they have been trying to get this through for many years.... HBO is talking about holding a screening in Washington.

I intend to travel to Okinawa and to visit with Okinawa officials and the citizens of Okinawa at an early date. I will send my best analysis of that situation, including the local attitudes, back to Washington, to the government there.

Information can be useful if you can do something with it. If your commute goes across the American Legion Bridge, there aren't that many other options -- you can go through downtown Washington or you can swim. We don't recommend swimming.

Lon Anderson

The main problem is that Washington is in denial about the economic failure, ... More Latin American leaders are aware of it, but it does not seem to be discussed. What is needed at a bare minimum is some discussion about what has gone wrong.

Wisconsin's kids shouldn't be allowed to fail just because Washington is failing them.

Democratic Govjim Doyle

Jack Schuessler

My main objective is to let the community find out who their neighbor is, whether they're in Eastport or in Parole. Everything you hear on the radio doesn't really pertain to Annapolis, it pertains to what's going on in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. We want to open people's eyes to what's really going on in our neighborhood.

Larry Griffin

We know that this weekend is going to be a tough one for us. Last year we played them twice and the difference between the two teams in two matches was one goal. Eastern Washington is a hard-working, energetic team that is coming off a great result with BYU so there spirits are going to be high. They'll attempt to pressure us and really look to counter-attack on our play.

The Eagles

The top-line guys in the Washington area this year are as good as anyone in the country.

Brent Venables

This one has similarities to the storm in late January of 1966. That one produced blizzard conditions over New England and New York, and there also was quite a bit of heavy snow down into the Washington area.

Claire Ick

If Mr. Lampe is basing his defense of Firestone tires on that 100 percent wrong Washington Post story, he's started his first day on the job on a very poor note.

Jason Vines

The key problem between Iran and the U.S. is that Washington treats Iran as a non-grownup person. The Iranian leadership is very unhappy with this. Tehran wants America to treat Iran as a regional superpower.

Saeed Leilaz

He is returning to the private sector. Any announcement about his replacement will be made in Washington.

Dana Smith

When I hit that ball, I thought I had a shot, but we are in Washington, so I had to run. Who knows what could have happened after that. The bottom line is that we lost tonight.

These men are worthy heirs to the tradition of Washington and Lee and Marshall, men who know their business, and who because they hate war, have soldiered well.

Maj Josiah Bunting

When you look at Washington, it's really not that big. And its economy is completely dependent on those two companies. When they're doing well, the whole state does all right, but when they're down, there's nothing to fall back on.

Joe Davis

This past week's good news for reformers is likely to continue in the weeks and months to come. Record campaign fundraising (see Schwarzenegger's bid to raise $120 million in the California gubernatorial race) and the continued stench of national scandal will lift reform efforts in Washington DC and across the country this year and beyond.

Nick Nyhart

Because our mail goes through the Brentwood processing center [in Washington], which tested positive for anthrax, all our mail is irradiated, but the machines were set so high they cooked the mail, basically destroying it. The letters just fell apart. But I think they must have turned the machines down, because now the letters are just yellow.

Doug Hall

George Washington had a vision for this country. Was it three days of uninterrupted shopping?

Burson Taylor

Republicans can point to the past, but they can't justify the present. It is a simple fact -- lobbying is booming under Bush. Since George Bush came to town, the number of lobbyists has doubled in Washington.

Rebecca Kirszner

Nobody from Arkansas or Hollywood or Washington, D.C., is going to tell us who's going to represent us in the U.S. Senate.

Rick Lazio

We need to clean up Congress. The people of Western North Carolina want to know that lobbyists and their special-interest money are no longer running the show in Washington.

Heath Shuler

The best way I can have my voice heard in Washington is to respond to the people in the 6th District.

Patty Wetterling

The boast that the United States is now the world's only superpower has a grim undertow in the area of human rights; no one can tell Washington what to do or not do, no matter how egregious its cruelties.

Norman Solomon

We've got a close eye on Washington state. It seems to me that people there are rejecting the Republican agenda.

Bill Burton

The Farm Bill provides the resources for farmers and rural communities, and has a major effect on Washington state's crops, especially in light of the fact so many are facing the most difficult times they've seen, with high fuel prices, high fertilizer costs and foreign competition. (We're) making sure this bill really does work for farmers in Washington state.

Alex Glass

Mississippi's delegation, including Sen. Lott, will continue making sure no one in Washington of any political stripe forgets Mississippi's recovery and rebuilding needs.

Lee Youngblood

The cherry tree myth is just that. When I do lectures I bring an old hatchet and say we just found this under an old cherry tree we had to take down. George Washington loved cherry trees. He put in a Cherry Walk of espaliered cherries in the Upper Garden. He did some pruning but not with a hatchet.

Dean Norton

I never knew anybody who knew more about his sponsors than Paul Dana. He wasn't just about racing. He went and spoke to Washington, D.C., lobbyists, he became buddies with senators, talking about renewable fuels.

Tom Blattler

The problem was that the Washington State Department of Transportation wanted a large roundabout that took too much property from the adjacent property owners.

Mick Monken

I know we look at hosting as an opportunity to showcase our area and make Southwest Washington and Vancouver a venue that the WIAA considers in the future.

Steve Marshall

Nina has a great hockey education, especially from being a part of the Washington Wolves club team. She understands the game very well and should fit well into our style of play.

Men and women of extraordinary courage and incredible capability. But it's time we had leadership in Washington to match that courage and match that capability.

Paul Rieckhoff

This is the classic confrontation you see in Washington ... because the president now has been challenged directly by the leadership of the Congress and by the lobbyists and by the bureaucracy, ... American Morning.

Dwight Pelz

In Saturday's playoff game against (Washington) when he ran to his left and he did the whirlybird and threw it downfield? That's what he used to do. It hasn't happened this year since that first game in Jacksonville. Those things are virtually gone.

Gil Haskell

This phenomena makes those of us in Washington really angry, because it has been so difficult to convince some members of Congress that we need new housing resources. The guidelines were put in place to protect the same families that these students have displaced.

Linda Couch

What happens in Washington has a much greater effect on all the for-profits. Regulatory issues have come to the forefront.

Sean Gallagher

We wrote several key words on the blackboard before the game, but the most important one was 'confidence. It's confidence in their shooting. I told the kids that they're the best shooting team in the state of Washington. They showed that in the first half.

Mike Downs

We believe in priority access, but we want to do it in a way that offers us maximum flexibility to accomplish the endgame. We are working with the government, including the White House, for a short-term solution, and expect to have a system up in Washington within 60 days.

Jeffrey Nelson

For most of the game, we handled (the pressure) pretty well. But there was a stretch there where we threw a couple of errant passes and a couple bad decisions. When you play a good team like George Washington, they're going to convert on those.

John Goldsberry

[Hurricane Katrina may be a defining moment, other speakers said, and not necessarily a positive one for the Republicans.] The controlling philosophy in Washington now is to dismiss community and place all the responsibility on the individual, ... It's better if we have both.

Tom Vilsack

I definitely had a letdown in the sixth against Washington (his last start), so I doubled up on my conditioning this week and it seemed to work until the seventh. I put Fish in a bad position, but he did a great job.

Brian Harrington

Atlanta is an extremely hot metropolitan area because job growth is good. The Washington, D.C., area is a very bad market because we have been cutting government workers.

John Tuccillo

After 200 years, the real Martha Washington can be seen again.

Patricia Brady

It's an ideal location, within driving distance of Washington, yet removed from the immediate area.

Chris Connelly

The fact that Dubai is paying her husband to help pass the deal presents both a financial and ethical conflict of interest for Sen. Dole. Congress does have a role in such a consequential deal, but once again, the coziness of lobbyists with Republicans in Washington is both troubling and inappropriate.

Jerry Meek

Asians are tired of waiting for Washington to start an Asian process. That's what this summit shows. In 1990 our [US] mental map of Europe changed drastically [when the Berlin Wall fell]. But that has not happened since 1945 in the Pacific.

Scott Snyder

Is the kind of leader we need to oversee the tens or hundreds of billions that Washington will be spending on the Gulf Coast. Scott could insist on low everyday prices while still leaving the area as well prepared for the next disaster as Wal-Mart was for Katrina.

John Tierney

About 100 people registered and there are probably 80 or so here now. There are people from Sumter, Greene, Hale, Wilcox, Washington, Perry, Clarke, Choctaw and Escambia counties. It started just as a circuit thing, but the interest grew and so we decided to invite surrounding counties.

Charlotte Webb

There's a Washington standard of casually putting things off the record. It's really gone too far. I don't know an easy way to turn it back.

Adam Clymer

We have engineers in Iowa, Washington State and France. Although we have a critical need for good communications, we can't afford to spend the time and money to fly folks for weekly design and review meetings.

Bryan White

Unanimously, the budget groups in Washington have been calling for offsets, ... But only a few members of Congress seem willing to do it.

Robert Bixby

I'm amazed that you could have the greatest portrait in the United States, of George Washington; you could have the Declaration of Independence desk, the desk on which it was written; you could have the hat that Abraham Lincoln had on the day he died, in buildings that really not only possibly endanger them, but the American people coming to look at them.

Lawrence Small

What we understood when we were retained ... was that you all were looking for something new. You were looking for something fresh. You were looking for something exciting and unique to Washington, D.C.

Joe Spear

We showed so much character this tournament, and it'll help even more later in the season. Rallying back Friday night (for a 49-48 victory over Booker T. Washington) and then coming back like this tonight will help us in the district.

Craig Brehon

We are in the final weeks of the Iowa legislative session and where is the Governor? He's been in Florida, Washington D.C. and New York, just in the past four days. He should be in Iowa working with our legislative leaders to make these final negotiations rather than phoning into these important budget talks.

Cullen Sheehan

[Responding to a Washington Post report on Saturday that Farrakhan had agreed to include] gay speakers ... very pleased that eight months of discussions with Minister Louis Farrakhan and March organizers have begun to pay off.

Keith Boykin

From the beginning, this hasn't passed the smell test. This smells like a barnyard that needs a cleanup. It's time to clean up Washington, D.C., and we should start with Conrad Burns.

Jon Tester

We got off to a rough start in New York where I wasn't playing too much. Going to Washington I was having fun playing hockey again but got hurt. I got traded to L.A. and everything was a downward spiral.

Anson Carter

Even after moving away to Washington, she was always very faithful in coming back.

Barry Mccarty

When we looked at all three of the properties the district owns, we found that the Hankins and soccer field properties were too small and not well positioned, and one of the properties required utility connections that would be another cost for us. But the main reason we chose the Washington Street site was because of its proximity to CSI (College of Southern Idaho).

Wiley Dobbs

We can especially help if we can reach places like Washington, D.C., where a lot of the trade associations are based.

Steve Morris

I've been to one game in 13 years and I wouldn't give the tickets up for anything. It's just a family legacy. I lived in Massillon, graduated from Washington High School in 1967 and lived there until 1985 when I moved to Hudson.

Sally Grant

In a few days an officer came to our camp, under a flag of truce, and informed Hamilton, then a captain of artillery, but afterwards the aid of General Washington, that Captain Hale had been arrested within the British lines condemned as a spy, and executed that morning.

William Hull

Aaron is a high achiever with an exceptional background in the Washington, DC market. His breadth of experience in the boutique luxury segment, coupled with his understanding of fine customer service, make him a perfect fit to lead sales and marketing for this property.

Vicki Denfeld

Washington State is a team that should be ranked and is very good. We had a tough battle with them last year and I expect the same this year. They have a tough No. 1 who is ranked very high nationally and they also have some big hitters down the line-up.

Damon Coupe

There have been vague reports about him heading toward the Northwest area, like toward Oregon or Washington, ... We have not been able to confirm those, but we are not going to rule those out as a possibility.

If he (Schilling) goes to Washington that will be a giant positive for them in many different ways.

Allen Wallace

We always come out against Washington with a mental block anyway.

Melvin Spears

Well, the real John Kerry, in my book, is the man who voted for $1/2 trillion in tax increases in Washington, D.C., and I think that's relevant in the context of the Senate elections.

Bill Weld

Washington's employers continued to add new jobs at a healthy rate in August, though not at the same extraordinary pace as in June and July, ... The exceptional job gains we've experienced over the summer have encouraged many more Washington residents to look for work. At the end of the day, demand for labor remains firm and the outlook for continued job growth is quite positive.

Karen Lee

Washington seems determined to deter not only a Chinese attack but also provocative Taiwan independence moves.

Robert Templer

His big tournament is this summer and that's the national championships. That's where you get noticed nationally. Everybody in Oregon knows who Denny is, and most of Washington, Idaho, Nevada and California ? they know him here, but to get nationally known happens in Fargo.

Ariah Fasana

[Richard Bloch , an arbitrator based in Washington who worked on cases of NHL salary arbitration for a decade, said,] It's a good sign that they are meeting; we're all hoping there is a way out of it. ... I'm very much in favor of having these things done with attention to each other rather than public posturing. A lot gets done when it is done quietly and in good faith.

Richard Bloch

I like him, but he's not getting the job done. Anybody who has been there that long would grow complacent and develop a feeling of immunity from the voters. The fact is, we keep sending people back to Washington year after year. I don't know how we expect anything to change.

Ralph Mcgill

David was one of the most accomplished journalists of his generation in Washington. He could do anything, and he did so many things brilliantly. He was an all-time great, versatile reporter who could tackle any subject.

Philip Taubman

When I hear George Bush talk about the power of small business, I think also about the teachings of W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington.

Truman Hudson Jr

By working cooperatively, Washington and Oregon have been able to provide important recreational and commercial fishing opportunities, while also providing protection for wild fish. Commissions in both states are now being asked how they want to proceed in future years.

Bill Tweit

No, it wasn't right and that's why we did what we did today. But I understand that the U.S. Attorney's office in Washington, D.C., will seek an indictment against the other participants. Mr. Baird took the steps he took today to try to make the best out of a bad situation.

Jeff Harrelson

Our time frame with this is on Nov. 15, we need to submit a plan on how to consolidate 26 county offices to Washington. We're going to be gathering input from farmers and others on the best way to do this.

Joe Alexander

We usually go over what defense we're going to play and coach Washington told it's in our hearts. If we want this game, we'll get it.

Jessica Taylor

I think a very important date is when the PM (prime minister) of Japan visits Washington.

Philip Seng

These are staggering numbers, even by Washington standards. The big firms do very, very well, but they don't come close to these kinds of numbers.

Stanley Brand

Washington, D.C. to New Orleans: Drop dead.

Mort Kondracke

We needed Audrey to handle the ball against that zone. Washington plays such a high-risk defense. We had to take her out of her position to score.

Charlie Hall

How prophetic L'Enfant was when he laid out Washington as a city that goes around in circles!

John Mason Brown

Everyone needs to bring their A-game, it's the last stand for us. Washington State is going to be ready to go and we need to do the same.

Karen Vickery

Contrary to the parlor-room Pershings around [Washington], we have a fully integrated multi-service unified command structure.

John F. Lehman, Jr.

The debate that's going on in Washington over immigration reform is, I believe, a historic period for the country.

Pete Meersman

Um, I'm doing an interview with Wisconsin Radio in a few minutes, and then I'm supposed to fly to Washington to do 'Hardball,' but I'm waiting to see what happens with the hurricane (Katrina). My life is really kind of surreal right now.

John Crawford

That includes web hosting and design. We do it all, back end [design] and simple HTML formatting. We can offer professional sites for a lot less than firms in Baltimore or Washington [D.C.] demand.

Jeryl Baker

Tyrone Willingham will do a tremendous job, ... He will represent the school the way it should be represented. Washington is not a good job right now, it's a lousy job. He wouldn't be there if it was a good job. He could build that into a good program. He can do it, and he'll do it the right way.

Lee Corso

The FTC's concerns about Internet privacy and the Microsoft case have made Washington more visible. The Microsoft case was a real awakening for people that the government does have an impact on your company.

Connie Correll

Policy makers here in Washington vastly underestimate the destabilizing effect of this lucrative underground market. As long as there are billions of dollars at stake, you'll always have people willing to get into the trade.

Tim Lynch

We have good service, but everyone always wants better, ... Within the business community with the state and federal government centers here, Washington service is one that comes up frequently.

Robin Roberts

I felt somehow for many years that George Washington and Alexander Hamilton just left me out by mistake. But through the process of amendment, interpretation, and court decision, I have finally been included in "We, the people.

Barbara Jordan

People want Washington to be noted as a place of integrity and quality and that's what Tyrone brings. We've been in court too much and in the headlines for the wrong reasons.

Todd Turner

The game at Washington allows us the opportunity to bring (junior center) Jason Mgebroff back home, as well as graduate assistant Matt Logie ... We always try and get our student-athletes one trip back home during their career, and I know Jason will be very excited to play in that game.

Billy Taylor

We're treading a really fine line on this, and there is a debate among people in Washington about what we should do.

Derek Mitchell

We have direct communications with Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Washington, D.C., at all times.

Howard Butt

I feel very good about our chances tomorrow, as I did today. Washington & Jefferson was at one point ranked No. 23 in (NCAA) Division III, so I think they have a little more talent than Fitchburg does. We're just going to go out and play and let everything else take care of itself.

Adam Houdeshell

Service between New York and Washington, D.C. is something we're looking at very closely, but right now we're deploying our aircraft to cities we feel are under-served and over-priced -- and there are quite a few cities in that category, including Washington, D.C.
