Lobbying is the world's second - oldest profession.

Things are not as bad as they seem. They are worse.

He is racist, he's homophobic, he's xenophobic and he's a sexist. He's the perfect Republican candidate. [California Democratic Party chairman about Pat Buchanan.]

What's the difference between love and like?
