• Winning control of the Senate would allow Republicans to pass a whole range of measures now being held up by Reid, often at the behest of the White House. Make it a major reform agenda. The centerpiece might be tax reform, both corporate and individual. It is needed, popular and doable. Then go for the low-hanging fruit enjoying wide bipartisan support, such as the Keystone XL pipeline and natural gas exports, most especially to Eastern Europe. One could then add border security, energy deregulation and health-care reform that repeals the more onerous Obamacare mandates.

• Most of my arguments with musicians through the years have had more to do with their attitude about music, or their attitude about their own lives, or their personal responsibility. Music has never really been the big centerpiece of the fight.

• The Amazons is a stupendous achievement--a long-anticipated centerpiece in the great puzzle of humankind. The story of these forbidden women, silenced for so long by the rigidity of traditional scholarship, is as exciting and surprising as a bestselling murder mystery; I simply couldn't put it down.

• Creators understand that their emotions are not necessarily a sign of the circumstances. They understand that in desperate circumstances they may experience joy, and in jubilant circumstances they may feel regret. They know that any emotion will change. But because emotions are not the centerpiece of their lives, they do not pander to them. They create what they create, not in reaction to their emotions but independent of them. On days filled with the depths of despair, they can create. On days filled with the heights of joy, they can create.

  Robert Fritz

  Regret, Independent, Joy

• President Bush announced his new economic plan. The centerpiece was a proposed repeal of the dividend tax on stocks, a boon that could be worth millions of dollars to average Americans. Well, average stock-owning Americans. Technically, Americans who own a significant amount of shares in dividend-dealing companies. Well, rich people, that's what I'm trying to say. They're going to do really well with this.

• Pearl Harbor es una película de dos horas comprimida en tres, sobre cómo el 7 de diciembre de 1941 los japoneses organizaron un ataque sorpresa contra un triángulo amoroso americano. Su pieza central son 40 minutos de efectos especiales redundantes, rodeados de una historia de amor de una banalidad pasmosa. La película ha sido dirigida sin gracia, visión ni originalidad, y aunque puede que salgas citando líneas de diálogo, no será porque las admires.

• If I'm a racist, why is one of the top civil rights activists of the 1960s asking me to be a centerpiece of the MLK dinner. Why am I the only one who has the guts to stand up to this Democrat Media Complex that insists that black people must exist on the Democrat plantation.

• Una de esas cosas extrañas que ocurren en las películas es que necesitas que alguien diga realmente los nombres de las personas, porque si no, no tienes ni idea de quiénes son esos chicos. Para ella era una forma de introducir quiénes eran los chicos importantes de la historia, pero luego era tan divertido que se convirtió en la pieza central de la misma. Cuando miras el diseño de personajes que Tim hizo para Weird Girl, y lo que Catherine [O'Hara] hizo con la voz, y va a matar.
