Quotation of the Day for January 30, 2017 "To have an equipment change midseason, I think, is crazy, especially in the goaltending position. It's like five, 10 years ago, when it was the True Religion jeans, really baggy. It's like going from those to skinny jeans. You can't bend over. I tried it one time, and it felt like it was really restrictive." - Mike Smith, Arizona Coyotes goalie, on the NHL's plan to make goaltenders wear snugger pants during games.

Quotation of the Day for January 21, 2017 "It will take some time before the number of people watching on TV is revealed, but some viewers must have had that eerie feeling that a perverse revival of Dynasty was under way. The incoming president gave a speech livid with populist fury, an indictment of "the establishment" and yet, in his person, demeanour and in reality, he confirms that the establishment, the force of true power remains anchored in old white men with a comb-over and decades-younger wife." - John Doyle, television critic, on the Trump inauguration.

Quotation of the Day for January 12, 2017 "Our party was founded on the abolition of slavery, it has fought for civil rights, it helped create the National Parks system under Teddy Roosevelt, we created NASA under Eisenhower, and under Nixon we created the EPA. Donald Trump won on banning and registering Muslims, racist statements about Mexicans, expanding the role of government, denying climate change, ignoring the First amendment, and destroying the civil rights for countless millions. How can we as a party, as Americans, simply say nothing?" - Larry West, Republican Committee Person, 22nd Ward, Philadelphia, PA.

Quotation of the Day for January 6, 2017 "There's nothing they need, nothing they don't own already, nothing they even want. So you buy them a solar-powered waving queen; a belly button brush; a silver-plated ice cream tub holder; a "hilarious" inflatable zimmer frame; a confection of plastic and electronics called Terry the Swearing Turtle; or - and somehow I find this significant - a Scratch Off World wall map. "They seem amusing on the first day of Christmas, daft on the second, embarrassing on the third. By the twelfth they're in landfill. For thirty seconds of dubious entertainment, or a hedonic stimulus that lasts no longer than a nicotine hit, we commission the use of materials whose impacts will ramify for generations." - George Monbiot, in the article The Gift of Death, published in the Guardian, 11th December 2012.
