In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said: "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter-bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."
  Stephen Crane

  We left at 7 p.m. Thursday and had a hard time getting out of town. You couldn't even get on the highway, ... Then on (U.S.) 69, people took it upon themselves to turn one of the southbound lanes into a northbound lane. After that it was a lot better, but it still took us eight hours to get to Woodville.

 “Intent is not a thought, or an object, or a wish. Intent is what can make a man succeed when his thoughts tell him that he is defeated. It operates in spite of the warrior’s indulgence. Intent is what makes him invulnerable. Intent is what sends a shaman through a wall, through space, to infinity.”
  Carlos Castaneda

 [? Forgive Texas Christian coach Gary Patterson for being addled after his team stunned then-No. 7 Oklahoma 17-10 on Saturday. After the upset, he signed a football,] Congrats, coach ... I had to bring a 7-year-old (back to the locker room) and ask him to exchange (footballs). I told him, 'Hey, I won it.'

 [34th over: England 146-2 (Vaughan 23, Bell 3) Kasprowicz bowls his ninth, and Australia's 20th, no ball of the day. From only 34 overs, that's a pretty staggering number.] If there was ever a boss who wouldn't mind if his team did no more work for the rest of the afternoon, ... surely it's Ricky Ponting.

 [Against Princeton] we ran the ball well and protected the QB well, so [the offensive line] got off to a good start. We had no turnovers the whole day. We are relatively inexperienced and adjustments to different defenses and in-game adjustments to changes in alignments will be the challenges ahead of us.

 [At the moment, Riley is focusing on hurricane relief efforts, as he should be. But a special session is under consideration.] Everybody knows there are schools in Alabama that have maintenance and infrastructure needs, ... The idea of a bond issue to address these school needs is simply under discussion.

 [But don't expect a lampoon of the Lone Star state.] Dallas is a very sophisticated city, ... and I've been blown away by how nice people are. They have links to government and oil, and they own nuclear power plants. And, in the movie, we are going to meet some new, interesting international counterparts.

 [Chavez, 46, who led a failed 1992 coup attempt, has shown little hesitancy at bucking the United States when it comes to his foreign policy. He has nurtured economic and political ties with Communist countries such as Cuba and China. He has hailed Libya as a] model of participatory democracy ... brother.
  Saddam Hussein

 [Cheney told NBC on Sept. 14, 2003, that he didn't know who sent Wilson on a mission to Niger to explore claims that Iraq was seeking nuclear material.] He never submitted a report that I ever saw when he came back, ... I don't know Mr. Wilson. I probably shouldn't judge him. I have no idea who hired him.
  Dick Cheney

 [Clearly, the players who choose to use steroids do so because they believe the drugs work.] It's still a hand-eye coordination game, but the difference [with steroids] is the ball is going to go a little farther, ... Some of the balls that would go to the warning track will go out. That's the difference.

 [Clinton's lawyer, standing at a lectern in the well of the Senate, said no reasonable person could read the grand jury transcript and not see Clinton was owning up to his illicit affair with Lewinsky.] I urge you to read that transcript, ... You will see this president make painful, difficult admissions.

 [Economists said the data suggested a long-awaited change in the outlook of employers, a movement away from years of reluctance to add new workers.] The rate of job creation from 2000 through mid-'04 was just stuck in the cellar, ... and this was an underappreciated, ongoing cause of the jobless recovery.

 [Even other sports practicing nearby took notice. Senior Jeff Thompson, who was practicing on the nearby football field while the game was taking place, couldn't help but notice Uhas's performance.] Every time I ran off the field to get a drink, ... the crowd was cheering and his name was being announced.

 [For both, it's a way to woo a public increasingly skeptical of sweeping pronouncements or simple solutions.] We are in an era when specificity is a sign of credibility, ... Do the numbers add up? Do the proposals work? There have to be enough details to satisfy [critics] that it's real and it's sensible.
