On an ideological level, Senator Nelson is not in touch with the mainstream of Florida, ... He has voted against tax relief that has been passed by the Republican majority in Congress.

Most of the software ideas of the late '90s which people tried and failed on--customer relationship management, marketing analytics, supply chain management, B2B procurement--those ideas all made sense and had good business justifications.

For most mainstream consumers I don't think they've had the option to have an application like this before.

If it sells well, our hope is McDonald's will embrace this across their entire system and all 13,000 stores will convert to Fair Trade in the next year or two.

For me, personally, I love to see the teams going to places we never get to see in mainstream media. . . . It's always a big eye-opener for these teams to go to someplace that is just very different from their local community. There's one location that we get to in the Middle East where the teams are immersed in a daily task that a lot of the local people have to go through.

I think when he died it got us into so many different areas of the world that people started to recognize NASCAR.

I think the way you keep from succumbing to that temptation of Nashville to follow the mainstream is, you have to look inside yourself.

Just about everything put out by Top Shelf and Drawn & Quarterly and Fantagraphics is what I keep up with. And once in a while, I'll read the more mainstream comics - I like Grant Morrison's writing and some of Warren Ellis' stuff, although maybe they're more on the fringe of the mainstream.

I think Edward Sharpe's music is counter-cultural music in the strangest sense where you have a time now where love, optimism, hope and community are uncool and not part of the mainstream culture.

I think filmmakers in general are, as the tools become more and more advanced, you're able to tell stories in a way that I think is more realistic.

Our Founding Fathers would shudder to see how easily forces outside the mainstream now seem to effortlessly push some Senate leaders toward conduct the American people don't want from their elected leaders: Abusing power. Inserting the government into our private lives. Injecting religion into debates about public policy. Jumping through hoops to ingratiate themselves to their partys base, while step by step, day by day, real problems that keep American families up at night fall by the wayside here in Washington.

Our attention ebbs and tides. We looked to the mainstream sports and how they stay in front of the audience.
