Major League Baseball has created a Pete Rose purgatory, and that's where he is. And that's where he's always going to be. It's unfortunate that the commissioner's office has decided to allow that to be the reality. I don't think Pete would mind if they said 'No' to Pete. Pete wants them to go one way or the other and get him out of the void he's in.

There's a period in one's life when beauty is very important. For me, it was high school. But I had a grandmother who kept saying, 'Handsome is as handsome does.' That's always stuck with me.

I should mention there are many European countries right now that already protect children from Wi-Fi, so it's not like this is some preposterous idea. This is already embraced by many countries all around the world. I don't think it is preposterous to suggest that public health needs greater protection in this country, especially that of children, among whom there is a rising tide of brain cancer right now.

So many of the great detectives that we see on television now owe their origins to Sherlock Holmes. What was very exciting about Rob's pitch and script was that he is a real Holmes-ian expert. He knew all of the mythology. He was very well-versed in the genesis of Holmes and the stories. And the twist with Watson is something we jumped at immediately. It's a very forward-thinking way of doing the show.

I think I was 24 when I went to USC with Pete Carroll. Pete believed in people and never worried about their age. I learned that from him.

Lane Kiffin

Like all Holmes' reasoning, the thing seemed simplicity itself when it was once explained. Dr. Watson, speaking of Sherlock Holmes.

Arthur Conan Doyle

The idea that government can instruct private enterprise on how to eliminate waste is preposterous.

James Cook

The idea that somehow the way forward is to abandon the past, to me, is preposterous and both undesirable and unrealistic.

Ken Liu

The idea that anyone would think their religious ideas make them morally superior is just preposterous.

David O. Russell

I wanted to be president of the United States. I really did. The older I get, the less preposterous the idea seems.

Alec Baldwin

What landed Jesus on the cross was the preposterous idea that common, ordinary, broken, screwed-up people could be godly.

There is a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, page on the Colorado Tea Party site as well, talking about him joining the Tea Party last year. Now we don’t know if this is the same Jim Holmes - but this is Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado.
