• Hay un total de 100.000 fumadores de marihuana en EE.UU., y la mayoría son negros, hispanos, filipinos y artistas. Su música satánica, el jazz y el swing, son el resultado del consumo de marihuana.

• People whose terms go for five years or longer, like FCC commissioners. That's a higher standard. Then district judges, who are appointed for a lifetime but can be overruled. Then Court of Appeals judges. They're not the highest level, but they're almost the final word. And then, of course, the Supreme Court.

• I am honoured to be asked to take on this role, especially as it comes at such an integral time for our relationship with South Africa and the African continent.

• El nombramiento de Bill Bratton como comisario de policía por parte del alcalde De Blasio es el colmo de la hipocresía. Pedirle a Bratton que ponga fin al perfil racial y a las detenciones y cacheo es como pedirle a un pirómano que te ayude a apagar incendios. Bratton junto con su socio Giuliani iniciaron y apoyaron las paradas por perfil racial. ¿Un nuevo alcalde progresista? Yo creo que no.

• No pude conmoverlos. Ni siquiera aceptaron una modificación de la sentencia (que prohibía la vacuna Rand), que al menos permitiría a los 100 pacientes (de cáncer) de Richmond Heights (Ohio) completar sus inyecciones. El Departamento de Justicia estaba dispuesto a seguir adelante, pero el comisario de la FDA, el Dr. James Goddard, se mostró inflexible, incluso beligerante. Es un error por parte del gobierno arrebatar esta esperanza cuando no hay pruebas en contra de su uso ofrecidas en los tribunales. Es condenadamente erróneo.

• Michael Brown, the director of FEMA, was nominated by President Bush in 2003 and plans to start the job any day now. ... Prior to heading FEMA, Brown spent the 90's as a commissioner -- this is true -- of the International Arabian Horse Association. I guess he stands out because most Bush appointees are beholden to Arabian people.

• Let me be clear: Any new approach must ensure the integrity of the game. One of my most important responsibilities as commissioner of the NBA is to protect the integrity of professional basketball and preserve public confidence in the league and our sport. I oppose any course of action that would compromise these objectives. But I believe that sports betting should be brought out of the underground and into the sunlight where it can be appropriately monitored and regulated

• Desde que la NBA compró los New Orleans Hornets, la responsabilidad final de las decisiones de gestión importantes recae en la Oficina del Comisionado, en consulta con el presidente del equipo, Jac Sperling. Todas las decisiones se toman en función de lo que más conviene a los Hornets. En el caso de la propuesta de canje que se hizo a los Hornets por Chris Paul, decidimos, libres de la influencia de otros propietarios de la NBA, que el equipo estaba mejor con Chris en un uniforme de los Hornets que por el resultado de los términos de ese canje.

• Los dos hombres se encorvaban ávidamente sobre la mesa, como dos lobos disputándose un cadáver, pero sus murmullos en la sala resonante parecían más bien gruñidos de cerdos. Uno era menos que un lobo: era fiscal. El otro era más que un cerdo: era comisario jefe de policía.
