american-activist middle stripe
There's nothing in the middle of the road but a yellow stripe and dead armadillos.
bad might work
I thought they might (go for the touchdown), ... but how can you say that was a bad call? It just didn't work out for them this time.
adjust combined good job kids practice schedule short time tuesday typical
I thought our kids bounced back well. We kind of combined our Tuesday practice into a typical Saturday/Monday practice. We just had to adjust our schedule slightly. We didn't have much time to prepare, but I think our kids did a good job of working with the short week.
offense played youth
I think it was just a combination of the two. We played pretty well on defense, and their youth really showed. Just like our youth showed on offense at times. But I'm very pleased. We haven't been 1-0 in a long time.
against awful discipline gifted good helping job situations takes truly
He's a truly gifted athlete. It takes an awful lot of discipline (to play against Williams), but even discipline is not enough. You end up in one-on-one situations and some of the times our ones won't be as good as their ones. We have to do a good job of helping each other out.

Well, I've been in the political arena all of my life, and 10 years of that as a candidate and elected official, and that's about enough.
dangerous ifs
If it's dangerous to talk to yourself, it's probably even dicier to listen.
government outsiders progressive
You can't do progressive government from the inside. You have to rally those outsiders and make them a force.
country fighting civilization
It's an essential fight librarians are making, an age-old fight; yours is a battle for civilization. It's a fight for our country's founding values.
country government media
Populism is not a style, it's a people's rebellion against the iron grip that big corporations have on our country - including our economy, government, media, and environment.
