Cheney, Rumsfeld - they were Shakespearean in their attitude of impunity.

There are two ways to write a werewolf novel - you can examine the genre conventions, or you can say, 'What would it be like if I were a werewolf?'

One of the things that seems absolutely clear to me about werewolves - with their canine makeup - is that they would be dogs, as it were.

Werewolves were far more terrifying than vampires. It is probably the idea of seeing the human within the beast and knowing you can't reach it. It might as well be a great white shark. There is no sitting down and discussing Proust with it, which the traditional vampire model seems to leave room for. You can have a conversation.

Oh, tradition was everything in this one. Our tradition here creates a refuse-to-lose attitude.

From his unapologetic attitude to his secret, backroom dealings, Dick Cheney doesn't realize that Americans expect responsible and effective government that puts the interests of the people first.
