Four times members of that sect have harassed my wife so I really have no use for any of them.

I've always found Winston to be fascinating.

He was a master at saying the wrong thing at the right time.

I've always suspected that Iraq and a few of the neighboring countries were far too large as envisioned by the British, nature taking it's course. I have similar thoughts about Texas.
