The biggest stories in 2005 were the national disasters.

The elite media has been caught in so many lies because of false statements that its whole reputation has eroded, their circulation is down, and their profits are down.

With years of experience doing whatever it takes to get to the bottom of each story, I am looking forward to covering the stories in the human dimension and impart the passion and visceral reactions the audience seeks.

I'm old, but I'm still cute and strong. And very butch.

Jackson and I spent the day together, just me and him and his children. Little underlings came and went. The PR person came and went. It was just Michael and me and the kids. And it was very interesting.

I'm tired of getting made fun of.

Perhaps areas of Israel where current large Palestinian populations and demographic realities exist could be exchanged for Israeli expansion into the West Bank to include most of East Jerusalem.

I think of myself as Special Forces, clearing the path for the infantry.

Extol Jewish virtue, modern Zionism and the Israeli Defense Forces.

I'm in my 10th generation of TV critic now.

This is the year of Katrina and Iraq. How the war ends is more important than how it began. However you feel about the war, you have to be compassionate and loving towards our troops.

The real Michael Jackson that has not been seen... with children, one in diapers, the other two toddlers.

Mother Nature may be forgiving this year, or next year, but eventually she's going to come around and whack you. You've got to be prepared.

There's no way New Orleans will ever be the city it was. I think it will have half the population. They may create a sort of Disneyland at the French Quarter for tourists. The rest I don't know.

Saturday Night Live is hitting me on a regular basis again. This is my fourth decade that I've been lampooned on Saturday Night Live.

I must be doing something right. I've been around for a long time.

I'd work to make it hip again to spend time in our fabled and fabulous land. But with a Puerto Rican father and a Jewish mother, I would probably be better suited as mayor of New York.

The courage in journalism is sticking up for the unpopular, not the popular.

The biggest stories in 2005 were the national disasters.

I'd like to give divorce a good name.

I've made a connection with the television audience by being a proud Latino man. I am passionate for what I do, courageous in the face of peril, honest and straightforward.

Your performance gets you promoted. It doesn't matter if you're brown, back or white.

I speak Spanish to my children and they speak it better than me.

One thing about these storms, we know how disruptive things can be when we depend on the system to keep working. What would happen if the terrorists do it? Knock down the power, destroy bridges, cut the water supply?

It's a great pleasure having survived six generations of TV critics.

When a Spanish man cries it's not a sign of weakness.

I am enduring. You can disagree with me.

Rich people who own mansions on the beach shouldn't get federal subsidies. If you want to stay there, take the risk.

Never take a job where winter winds can blow up your pants.

Give Hamas 90 days to pick a lane, then react.

Being a president is being a CEO essentially.

Are you kidding? I'm a terrible cook, but John is a really great one. Literally, I never cook. The whole time we were dating, I prepared two officially romantic meals. Both of them were such disasters that he begs me never to go into the kitchen again.

There was a tsunami and there are terrible natural disasters, all of this because of too little Torah study.

We must expect reverses, even defeats. They are sent to teach us wisdom and prudence, to call forth greater energies, and to prevent our falling into greater disasters.

The miserable failures of capitalist economies in the Great Depression were root causes of worldwide social and political disasters.

Did you know that the word "tsunami," which is now being used worldwide, is a Japanese word? This is indicative of the extent to which Japan has been subject to frequent tsunami disasters in the past.

Farms and ranches contend with much more than quarterly reports and profit margins - the weather can wreak havoc on their quality of life and economic viability. When natural disasters strike, we must do all we can to assist the backbone of our economy.

It's very difficult to ignore humanitarian disasters. The royalties from my albums continue to support my charity work.

These days, it's really been uninteresting except when disasters occur.

The formula for achieving a successful relationship is simple: you should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster.

Our agricultural economy in the Hudson Valley continues to face historically low prices and producer income, as well as losses due to weather and other disasters.

The environmental movement, like all political processes, reacts best to disasters. But these are very slow, very gradual disasters in the making.

I tell you, the difference for me is between being victimized, terrorized, numbed by reading about different disasters, or reducing the anxiety by getting up and doing something about it, at whatever level.

We had had several mine disasters where workers, some of the workers were rescued. It was, you know, who was lucky and who weren't. Some would find the air pockets But, in this one, bam, it was just, everybody was gone and it greatly depressed the state.

But I warn my colleagues that we will fail in our efforts to protect the homeland if we do not take additional steps to avoid a trade-off between protecting ourselves against terrorists attacks and preparing for and responding to natural disasters.

There is a huge responsibility on all of us to get England through. It would be one of the biggest disasters in sports history if we blew it and we must make sure it does not happen.

In a world full of competing emergencies and disasters, it really helps if there is an international locomotive that can help us bring attention - help us bring resources.
