Pentagon dollars are essentially seen as a different kind of funding that doesn't have to stand for itself and make an argument for itself in the house of Congress.
It's not just the small-potatoes post-9/11 Homeland spending that feels a little off mission. It's the big-ticket stuff too.
I sincerely believe that there's room for cutting down trees for forestry and grazing, so as we all get to eat. Everyone has to compromise.
If it is something that I want to do, then I don't think the audience will hate it. Unless I turn into a megalomaniac and start thinking that Salman Khan can do anything.
Style is the instrument you can pick back up when you want to regain some of the confidence you've lost.
Style applies to a lifestyle. It's not about being told this is trendy, you must do it. Now people have more access than ever before.

If the only way you can build an emergency fund is to pay the minimum due on your credit card, that is what you need to do.
What I've learned is that the audience is constantly rotating. Just because it feels like I've said it, there are millions and millions of people that have still never heard of it.
When I'm a brunette, it's four times harder to hail a taxi. Then I go blonde again, and suddenly there are taxis everywhere.
I tell people that I'm a Christian, but I don't think it's giving an insight into who I am or what I'm about.
When I write, I create really absurd situations which become false because I am after the joke.
I'm sorry to say I'm very lizard-like. My skin is dry, so covering my face in greasy antioxidants is a better alternative.
I've got spider veins all over my legs, so I wear opaque tights all winter. All sorts of colours.
I didn't cheer in high school. I was the farthest thing from a cheerleader in high school. We made fun of cheerleaders. Everybody did!
