"When we are facing a $1.3 trillion deficit this year—that is what it is going to be at a minimum—why would we not streamline that? Why wouldn’t we ask the hard questions? Why wouldn’t we do the things aligned with common sense and prudence instead of a political spoils system?"

"What is emerging in Russia today can only be described as a culture of impunity—a sense among those who control the levers of power that Russia is theirs for the taking, and the only question left to debate is how government officials and other elites will divide up the wealth, the power, and the spoils. This culture of impunity begins, first and foremost, with President Putin. He sets the tone in the country. And right now, with his return to the presidency, and with many of the actions that the Russian government has taken recently, the signal is being sent across the country, especially to every petty tyrant and aspiring autocrat in the Russian state, that Putin is doing what he wishes. He is using the instruments of the state to crush his critics. He is getting away with it. And you can too."

"Brian Bilbray, he is leaving us as well. Brian, from San Diego, I have had a lot of problems with Brian because before he was elected, I was the best surfer in the United States Congress. Of course, there were no other surfers at that time, so that accolade really wasn’t as important. But then Brian comes along and spoils that little braggadocio that I was able to do. Brian has been so active on science issues. I have worked closely with him on small modular reactors and on water quality for our coastline;"

"This horrible state of terror was “formally” abandoned in Albania in 1992, with the first democratic election. Nevertheless, two decades later, the scars of communism and the twin cultures of fear and corruption still linger in Albania. Political parties openly fight for power, and the spoils of corruption keep the country out of the European Union, while former Communist neighbors, such as Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, Greece, and Serbia, are either already in the EU or on the path to admission."
