A Pain In The Heart
this is nothing
i tell you when you ask
this is nothing
i assure you
this is just a pain in the heart
and everyone has it
so this must be nothing
like everyone's suffering
this is nothing special
hearts break
people die
hearts bleed
people heal themselves
hearts are broken
and there are no heroes
no nobel laureates
for this common occurences
so why bother
your heart is broken too?
don't bother
i am shutting up.

The local communities, through their leaders, were able to build a communications network that allowed my work here to reflect the needs and interests of the people within the 9th Congressional District. It's been an honor to do that and we did so successfully.

One of the sad things about contemporary journalism is that it actually matters very little. The world now is almost inured to the power of journalism. The best journalism would manage to outrage people. And people are less and less inclined to outrage.

The cost of congressional and presidential campaigns has been leaping every two or four years. I think this year it will be 60 percent more than 1996; well over twice as much as in 1992 in the presidential and congressional races.

For much of this decade, both Congressional and administration budget projections showed a decline in science and technology accounts of between 20 and 30 percent in real dollars. The real impact to date has been far less severe.
