“So here we are in a country with more wheat and corn and more money in the bank, more cotton, more everything in the world-there's not a product that you can name that we haven't got more of than any other country ever had on the face of the earth-and yet we've got people starving. We'll hold the distinction of being the only nation in the history of the world that ever went to the poor house in an automobile.” PeopleWorldCountryEarthFacesHouseNamesNationsPoorHavensProductsDistinctionMore MoneyOther CountriesConsumerismWorld HistoryStarvingCornAutomobileWheatCottonOverconsumption Author:Will Rogers

“We all just meet up and someone's house or the studio and we'll just jam and we'll lock into something that sounds cool. I'll go home with tracks of cool parts and work on words. Everyone in the band has a job to do and everyone knows their job and we all do it really well. So, when we're writing, we can just look at one another and say, 'OK, go write this part'. It's not just one person writing or producing everything - everyone's working to product what we have.” KnowsWritingWellsLooksPersonsHomeJobsHouseSoundProductsBandTrackStudiosJust OneLocksJam Author:Mitch Lucker

“Worms'-Meat, n. The finished product of which we are the raw material. The contents of the Taj Mahal, the Tombeau Napoleon and the Granitarium. Worms'-meat is usually outlasted by the structure that houses it, but "this too must pass away." Probably the silliest work in which a human being can engage is construction of a tomb for himself. The solemn purpose cannot dignify, but only accentuates by contrast the foreknown futility.” HumansPurposeHouseHuman BeingsMaterialsProductsStructureFinishedMeatConstructionContrastWormsSolemnTombsPassing AwayFutilityRaw MaterialsAccentuateTaj MahalMahal Book:The Devil's Dictionary: Easyread Super Large 20pt Edition Source: The Devil's Dictionary: Easyread Super Large 20pt Edition
“If only I had known a year ago what I'd be facing now. Until last year I lived with the innocent arrogance that my life was a simple product of effort, will, and design.

“As a child growing up among artists I learned to think of a picture not as a finished product exposed for the admiration of the virtuosi, but as the visible record, lying about the house, of an attempt to solve a definite problem in painting.” ThinkingChildrenProblemLyingArtistHouseGrowing UpRecordsGrowingPaintingProductsSolveFinishedVisibleAdmirationExposedDefiniteChildren Growing UpGrowing Children Author:Robin G.

“Kevin McCarthy, who is the House majority leader, was pretty open. He went out and recruited candidates. And the Republicans in the House have paid a price for it ever since, because they cannot pass anything comprehensive or real because of the Freedom Caucus, which is the child, the product, the progeny of the Tea Party.” ChildrenRealHousePartyLeaderProductsRepublicanPaidMajorityTeaCandidatesComprehensiveTea PartyKevinCaucusProgenyMajority Leader Author:Mark Shields
“There really is no foolproof or even optimal way of dealing with White House emissaries who tell whoppers on live television. On the one hand, there's value in hearing what our government has to say about its actions and vision for the future. On the other, news organizations are responsible for the factual hygiene of their product. In some cases, those two imperatives just aren't compatible.” WayTwoHandsGovernmentActionValuesHouseWhiteVisionCasesTelevisionProductsNewsOrganizationResponsibleHearingWhite HouseImperativesCompatibleFactualHygieneOptimalFoolproofLive Television Author:Erik Wemple
