Notable Quotes “Say What?!”

It’s an old dream that starts in my childhood. - Manfred Steiner, of Rhode Island, upon obtaining a PhD in physics from Brown University at 89 years old

I may go as far to say Mike ruined basketball. In the ‘80s on the playgrounds, you’d have everyone moving the ball around — passing to help the team. That stopped in the ‘90s. Kids wanted to be “Like Mike.” Well, Mike didn’t want to pass — didn’t want to rebound, or defend the best player. He wanted everything done for him. – Michael Jordan’s long-time Allstar teammate Scottie Pippen in his new memoir, dissing his former teammate

I keep forgetting that you’re still alive. Kamala Harris has an approval rating of 28 percent, which is — makes no sense, because she basically has nothing to do. I mean, it’s like criticizing a backup quarterback: “Tom Brady is OK — I don’t love the way Blaine Gabbert has his legs folded on the bench.” — Jimmy Kimmel

Kamala’s approval rating of 28 percent is even lower than the 30 percent who approved of Dick Cheney in 2008 after he shot a guy in the face. — Jimmy Kimmel

- Elon Musk, tweeting in response to Sen. Bernie Sanders who tweeted, “We must demand that the extremely wealthy pay their fair share. Period.”

More fires in the West burned to the ground homes, businesses and forests than the entire state of New Jersey... Why is it happening? Well, the severe storms that are knocking down all the wires, anyway, there’s a lot going on. - Pres. Biden touting his infrastructure bill in New Hampshire

The only good part of inflation — I was always jealous of those old guys who would go, like, “Back in my day, you could buy a house with a dollar!” It looks like now if inflation gets bad enough, we’ll get to be those old guys: “Oh, yeah? Back in my day, a million dollars could buy a whole lot more than just a haircut!” — Trevor Noah

How do I cross a bridge in a snowstorm? … What happens if the bridge collapses and there’s a fire on the other side? It’s gonna take ten miles longer to get to the fire. People could die! – Ibid.
