I find it extremely ironic that Bush says that personal opinion should not be a tool in the interpretation of the Constitution, when he's the one who's lobbying for a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. If that doesn't stem from personal opinion, I don't know what does.

I can't front. I don't have a lot of respect for 50 Cent because his music is hardcore ... violent. And I love his music sometimes, but I feel like in his personal life, his real life, he carries that on, and that's not a great message, you know what I mean? I think he promotes it.

I, for one, believe a judge can be pro-life yet be fair, balanced, and uphold a woman's right to choose.

If one wanted to find a modern symbol of personal freedom, the motor car is right there near the top of the list. But a car has come to mean much more than that. It has become a powerful statement about who you are and how much you earn.

Growing up, I was discouraged from telling personal stories. My dad often used the phrase 'Don't tell anyone.' But not about creepy things. I don't want to lead you down the wrong path.

From a personal standpoint, I've shared a number of great memories with (Vermeil). I've said this on numerous occasions: he's been in charge of three organizations as a professional coach in his career and on two of those occasions he chose me to be his starting quarterback. So, I feel a great deal towards him, a great deal of responsibility in St. Louis when I was brought into that situation and he told me what was needed. Even though I wasn't able to carry that over onto the field, I felt good about the direction going into that season. Coming here and having it explained what was expected of me and I tried to do all those things. That's what I told him when he got me to Kansas City.

From a personal standpoint, I really admire Bronson. I have gotten to know him really well, and that made it difficult. From an organizational standpoint, we owe a lot to Bronson ..I think it?s safe to say we would not have won the (2004) World Series without him. He?s handled himself with a huge amount of class on and off the field throughout his time as a Red Sox.

From a personal standpoint, I hate to lose Roman; he's got a great future ahead of him. From a team standpoint, we need to make moves that can fit in like a piece in a puzzle. Kyle Farnsworth fits in a little better into our puzzle right now.

If a physician has higher costs than the revenue they bring in, it may be a blessing if they move their patients to our competitor. As an organization, we work very diligently at creating the best environment in our service area for our patients, our medical staff and our employees so when a physician moves his practice, it is at risk of reducing their patient load or the quality of care provided to the patient. We endeavor to work closely with our medical staff by providing data or resources necessary to develop positive outcomes for all. My personal desire is always to provide physicians with whatever product they need to practice but in return, we ask for their support in dealing with vendors in such a way that not only allows the physician a choice of product but also afford us a fair return on investment.

He has a big problem in his personal life.

He had been a very private person up until this past year. It certainly was a bizarre turn in terms of how he handles his personal life and the access that he gave the media to himself. The endless posing on the red carpet and just smooching like they were on the couch at home.

He has shown enormous personal attributes and the professional competence which is needed to do the job well, so I think he would be an outstanding choice if they can convince him to do the job. But he either wants to do the job or not and I don't think you can force people to go down that road.

He had a bad experience, you know, in Athens. He wasn't happy about how things turned out there, the outcome and his own personal experience there.

He doesn't have a personal relationship with him.

He felt deeply about his community and the role we should play as a business and as employees in building a better Lebanon, Marion County and Commonwealth of Kentucky, ... Sure, he was a large contributor toward many worthwhile projects. But we will always remember him for his support of our community through his investment of human capital. His encouragement wasn't just lip service either. Gene led by example. And perhaps most memorable of all to me, Gene did what he did, not for glory and personal recognition.

He expressed his own personal position which in many ways can be considered well-founded,
