“It is short-sighted protectionist measures - like the ones being pursued by members of Congress - that helped precipitate the Great Depression. The more difficult politicians make it to do business in the United States, the more they risk triggering global depression and economic stagnation.”

“One thing that has precipitated all of this is our failure to make the appropriate changes to the code, and so we're suffering in a gray area. We moved very quickly, and I won't question why we did that, I just know that we probably should have given a little bit more thought about moving to a part-time chairman.”
Commissioner Sam Hart
“We were definitely in drought conditions. It's nice to get little shots of precipitation instead of one big gulp, which we really don't need. This will really help the farmers out.”
Steve Teachout
“The problem with showers and thunderstorms is that you can drop quite a bit of precipitation in a short period of time. Half an inch of rain in 30 minutes is going to be a real problem in some of the areas where we already have standing water.”
Elizabeth Morse
“In terms of the outlook, there is no significant precipitation in sight.”
Mike Palmerino
“In life and business, there are two cardinal sins, ... The first is to act precipitously without thought, and the second is to not act at all. Unfortunately the board of directors and top management of Times Warner already committed the first sin by merging with AOL, and we believe they are currently in the process of committing the second; now is not a time to move slowly and suffer the paralysis of inaction.”
