"Given the amount of money already being made on 'South Park' videos and T-shirts, there was a certain inevitability to the release of a 'South Park' CD. After all, if the Brady Bunch could cut songs, why not Kyle, Stan, Cartman and Kenny?"
- J.D. Considine, music reviewer, The Baltimore Sun
Chelsea Clinton "didn't run for anything. She is an innocent here. What happens to her is not a matter of consequence to the state or the public. This is purely a matter of gossip."
- Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, responding to a story which appeared in The New York Post entitled "Chelsea's Heartache" about the first kid's rumored break up with a Stanford Boyfriend.
I was "wheeling and dealing through a world I had never seen but knew I could handle because I was a champ. But it was pure masturbation, because down in my gut I wanted nothing more than a clean bed and a bright room and something solid to call my own at least until I got tired of it."
- Journalist Paul Kemp, the main character of Hunter S. Thompson's latest novel "The Rum Diary."
"TNT was aware that we had not finished our story yet. They had just picked up the first four seasons for syndication, and they said, 'Well, if you're going to have a book, you should have the last chapter of it.' And they decided to go ahead and give us that opportunity.''
- "Babylon 5" Creator J. Michael Straczynski, explaining that his creation will now move into its fifth and concluding year.
