| Quote:When you are in any contest you should work as if there were, to the very last minute, a chance to lose it.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:In some versions of my original contest column I had proposed, in a lighthearted manner, that we reduce the deficit by 'selling unnecessary states such as Oklahoma to the Japanese.' This caused a number of Oklahomans to send in letters containing many correctly spelled words and making the central lighthearted point that I am a jerk. They also sent me official literature stating that Oklahoma has enormous quantities of culture in the form of ballet, Oral Roberts, etc., and that the Official State Reptile -- I am not making this up -- is something called the 'Mountain Boomer.' So I apologize to Oklahoma, and as a token of my sincerity I'm willing to sell my state, Florida, to the Japanese, assuming nobody objects to the fact that Japan would suddenly become the most heavily armed nation on Earth.[Dave Barry] Quote:It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:The presidency is now a cross between a popularity contest and a high school debate, with an encyclopedia of cliches the first prize.[Saul Bellow] Quote:The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power.[Daniel Webster] Definitions of: contestDefinition: To make a subject of dispute, contention, litigation, or emulation; to contend for; to call in question; to controvert; to oppose; to dispute.Definition: To strive earnestly to hold or maintain; to struggle to defend; as, the troops contested every inch of ground.
