Federal Grain

Famous quotes containing the words federal and/or grain:

    Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    Whan that the firste cok hath crowe, anoon
    Up rist this joly lovere Absolon,
    And him arrayeth gay at point devis.
    But first he cheweth grain and licoris,
    To smellen sweete, er he hadde kembd his heer.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
