The people are hungry: It is because those in authority eat up too much in taxes.

Republicans have called for a National African-American Museum. The plan is being held up by finding a location that isn't in their neighborhood.
It's funny how all of this has worked out - I wasn't popular in high school, but now every drunken guy in the United States wants to be my pal. They all want to buy me a shot, and pretty soon I'm throwing up.
My dad thought I'd end up in the poorhouse or in doughnut shops with a bag full of reviews.

We had a big controversy in the United States when there was a limited number of dialysis machines.

I don't like to kick people when they're down. I like to kick people when they're up.
I'll cook a batch of brown rice or quinoa and keep it in the fridge, so when I get hungry, I can easily dress it up with olive oil, lemon, and salt and pepper, and then add veggies.
