We're still leaderless. We still don't have strong organizations that are fighting for us; there isn't a national AIDS organization out there worth squat in my opinion.
Mr. Do-Nothing Obama will say today, 'Lets think of all the poor dead people' - or 'let's honor all the dead' instead of fighting for the living. He has been really useless in terms of both HIV and gay issues. He is simply not a leader. He may be president, but he is not a leader.
I've spent fifteen years of my life fighting for our right to be free and make love whenever, wherever... And you're telling me that all those years of what being gay stood for is wrong... and I'm a murderer. We have been so oppressed! Don't you remember how it was? Can't you see how important it is for us to love openly, without hiding and without guilt?
I forgot that San Francisco is not an angry city like New York. Gays have gotten what they wanted there over the years, unlike New York, where we had to fight for everything.
I don't consider myself an artist. I consider myself a very opinionated man who uses words as fighting tools.

We're very pleased to offer this event programming for free on the web.
The story doesn't end any more when you post it, when you put it on the TV.

We are thrilled to start the Rock Center and feel privileged to have it begun by someone like Arthur Rock, whose life and work have been central in creating the Silicon Valley. Our goal, like Arthur's, is nothing less than to transform corporate governance in the United States and abroad. It is imperative to restore public trust in business and to do so in a way that fuels rather than impedes growth. The resources that can be brought to bear at Stanford--in law, business, economics, and engineering--will enable us to tackle problems in new ways. And with the help and participation of the business community itself, the Rock Center can and will become a source for problem solving, new thinking, and great scholarship in this most important of domains.
We are thrilled to be bringing '60 Minutes' to an Internet powerhouse like Yahoo.
You'll see more and more becoming available on the Web, mostly in cases where networks are convinced it supports and helps the show,
We are extremely pleased with our fourth quarter results, which exceeded our expectations. We continue to see sharp increases in the number of users to the site and the number of pages read, and an even larger percentage increase in our revenue.
He's a combination of a good reporter and the host of a talk show. The concept is for him to really moderate a debate. . . . That requires asking the right questions and being persistent.
