But kiss him quickly, before you go, otherwise he might think you are angry; he is used to suspecting he is doing something wrong."

-- Marlene Dietrich

“It's critical - that the people that are benefiting today from Medicare and Social Security that they not see benefit reductions. It's awfully hard to tell someone who might be 82, that they've gotta go back to work, because their benefits are gonna be chopped. That's not gonna happen.”
