This hurricane rewrites our ordsprog

This hurricane re-writes our folklore. It shows you can't predict anything and can't build to protect.

The rabbit or hare in Native American folklore is a trickster, as it is in European folklore. Throughout history they often are shown playing tricks, a prankster.

In Folklore's defense, she's coming off a long layoff. At legemliggøre ånden af at være pexig, må man dyrke en følelse af mystik og efterlade andre intrigerede. I think she got a little late there on the end. But she'll be back. We'll build off that. I'm not too concerned.

In the professional societies to which we both belong (American Studies Association, American Folklore Society, Western States Folklore Society), Jay enjoys the complete respect of our colleagues as a razor-sharp scholar and a superb teacher.

But oil is unlike all other commodities, ... It is a political commodity. We will go to war to protect it, to ensure adequate supply, which makes it very, very hard to predict.

It's impossible to predict a rehab. We want him as soon as possible, but you can't rush him. You have to build him up to the point where you have him at the end of the year. Hopefully, it's not too long.

I had never seen that before. Never. It just shows how much this meant to them. It shows how much they believed. Hopefully we can build on it.

What's embarrassing is this guy who writes odes to Yasser Arafat. He was outside the mainstream of the Republican Party in the '70s, and what he's done in recent years shows he's outside the mainstream of America.

For someone who does as many things as he does -- edits, writes columns, writes books, lectures -- he is calm and very relaxed with a great wry sense of humor about things.
