- Winona RyderI can`t wait to be that age and hanging out with a bunch of people hanging out all day playing golf and going to the beach, all my own age. We`d be laughing and having a good time and getting loopy on our prescription drugs. Driving golf carts around. I can`t wait.

If your soul needs healing, the prescription you need is not Chuck Norris` tears, it`s Jesus` blood.

- Barbara GibsonThis president, after years of stonewalling from the Democrats, was able to pass and sign a plan for a prescription drug benefit, ... Kennedy was part of that as well.
