“We're concerned some of the good owners might be penalized if this is applied too broadly. If the sweeps are in response to complaints or code violations, we're all in favor of that. We're in favor of safe, sanitary and clean housing.”
Bob Love
“FRYING-PAN, n. One part of the penal apparatus employed in that punitive institution, a woman's kitchen. The frying-pan was invented by Calvin, and by him used in cooking span-long infants that had died without baptism; and observing one day the horrible torment of a tramp who had incautiously pulled a fried babe from the waste-dump and devoured it, it occurred to the great divine to rob death of its terrors by introducing the frying-pan into every household in Geneva. Thence it spread to all corners of the world, and has been of invaluable assistance in the propagation of his sombre faith. The following lines (said to be from the pen of his Grace Bishop Potter) seem to imply that the usefulness of this utensil is not limited to this world; but as the consequences of its employment in this life reach over into the life to come, so also itself may be found on the other side, rewarding its devotees:Old Nick was summoned to the skies. Said Peter: "Your intentions Are good, but you lack enterprise Concerning new inventions."Now, broiling in an ancient plan Of torment, but I hear it Reported that the frying-pan Sears best the wicked spirit."Go get one --fill it up with fat -- Fry sinners brown and good in't.""I know a trick worth two o' that," Said Nick --"I'll cook their food in't."”
Ambrose Bierce
“I feel that this life is sort of a penal colony. People have goofed or we wouldn't be here.”
William S. Burroughs
“California leads the nation when it comes to critical privacy protection laws. California law (Penal Code section 530.6) enables California residents who believe they have been victimized by financial fraud and identity theft to request a police report -- regardless of whether the crime was committed in the victim's location or somewhere else in the country.”

“There was no backroom deal with Cape Wind. There was a provision to make sure Cape Wind wasn't penalized.”
Mark Rodgers
“They have been penalized for both of those in the month of July, as they were in the month of June and the month of May, ... Are we seeing improvement? I am happy to say yes.”
George Abbott
“We feel that we are being unjustly penalized and discriminated against for our scenic location. We are being put to a great inconvenience, similar to the use of private property by eminent domain, but without due process.”
