First we need to rethink the terms and recognize that we've imported this language from the technocratic class, from Silicon Valley, that talks about openness and transparency.

New media companies look remarkably like the old ones they aspire to replace: male, pale, and privileged.

Just because something isn't happening for you right now, doesn't mean it won't happen. God's timing is perfect.

The party of ideas has become the party of Beavis and Butthead.

It's always the organizations that are resource constrained that come up with the good ideas to win.

Every cent we earn from Crocodile Hunter goes straight back into conservation. Every single cent.

I don't buy into the idea that you're not supposed to rock & roll after a certain date. Maybe I should be in Bellevue, but I'm just having a good time.
