When All Is Said and Done ...
Topic: Miscellaneous 11:02 pm EDT, May 23, 2007

A question I keep mulling over is...when all is said and done...what legacy do I want to leave behind?

When all is said and done, I'm certain I'll go back to blonde.

When all is said and done we must continue with the fight in our country to get freedom. We can't outsource our liberation to foreigners. We must be masters of our own destiny and the price of freedom is death! Give me freedom or give me death.

And probably, when all is said and done, the roots of this infatuation go back far beyond the birth of America.

Still, when all is said and done, macho people simply live more exciting lives. Just ask Jack Bauer.

“When all is said and done, though, I think we milbloggers will do just fine despite the changes,” he said. “After all, unless DoD comes out and says, ‘Thou Shalt Not Blog,’ we’re much more nimble than any office code in the Pentagon.”

As expensive as JWST might seem, Weiler said, when all is said and done it will cost roughly half of what NASA has spent on Hubble -- about $7 billion to $8 billion adjusted for inflation and measured according to the same accounting methods that govern Webb.

When all is said and done, the summer of 2007 will be known as the summer of the trilogy.

"But when all is said and done, the system that we're putting here in this region is going to be the best in the country."

And when all is said and done, enough candidates are likely to get enough slices of the huge delegate pie that several will be able to claim victory in one state or another on Feb. 5.

One of our greatest failures in my lifetime has been the failed policies of Iraq. I personally believe when all is said and done, it will haunt us more than Vietnam because of failures across the entire spectrum of American life.

WJLA was kind enough to remind us that Digestive Disease Week will have brought in $32 million to the District when all is said and done, in addition of course to the virtually bottomless pit of fun that is our enjoyment of bathroom humor. A clear win-win for the city.

Frankly, if these cameras can deter people from running red lights and this saves just one life, then we've done a pretty good job when all is said and done.

I will predict that when all is said and done, you're going to look back and most of you will identify the number one thing you got out of law school was developing your critical thinking skills.

When all is said and done, paddle-boarding, it seems, holds endless possibilities.

While phone companies seem to enjoy nickel-and-diming their customers to death with various petty scams and charges, they could easily charge one flat fee and spend their efforts on quality-of-service issues and improving overall network speed and throughput. That will never happen, and phone companies will forever be loathed. But when all is said and done, it's because of them that the Internet will never collapse. That's the good news. The bad news is they now own the Internet — literally — and they'll continue to play the nickel-and-dime game with us.

Because, when all is said and done, this is a sad day. Sad because there are too many of these days, still. Time Warner itself had the dubious distinction last year of “clearing” chief financial officer Wayne Pace of using any company funds to pay for prostitution.

When all is said and done, most experts counsel against home improvement as an investment.

"I think when all is said and done, his records -- this new one in particular -- will sit comfortably next to the great records throughout rock and roll history that he's been inspired by."

"At the end of the day — when all is said and done — it's about the babies."

When all is said and done, with luck and good management being a mom and loved for it is a powerful and positive experience.

“When all is said and done,” DiNicolantonio wrote, “I only regret becoming involved with that malignant tumor Craig Callaway.”

I thought it was right at the time and have never had any reason to question that since. I never thought, by the way, that I had a high chance of ending or shortening the war. I thought it was worth doing anyway -- telling the truth -- and hoped it might shorten the war. Since, in fact, it seems to have had quite a powerful effect, I'm all the more happy. My only regret is that I didn't do it a number of years earlier, when they might have had a much more powerful effect in averting the war or ending it.

Driving to the airport, I found myself thinking that my only regret was that clouds had prevented us from seeing fabled Mount Kilimanjaro. But just before we arrived, the cloud cover lifted momentarily and there they were: the snows of Kilimanjaro. It was a perfect ending to one of the great trips of my life.

My only regret was not having ordered the house-baked creamy cheesecake lollipops.

"He was the best speaker I've seen at my time at Emory," Haag wrote. "My only regret is that more students did not come to see him."

McCullough regrets that today people don't write letters or keep diaries. "For that, we are the biggest losers," he said.

When all is said and done, the United States needs a larger Army.

Let's face it. When push comes to shove, when the rubber meets the road, when all is said and done, when trying to get one's ducks in a row (ducks in a row?), at the end of the day the bottom line is: A lot of us don't know our assets from a hole in the ground!

Watch out for verbal tics. This implies that you have to learn what yours are, and then learn to avoid them. Do you say “you know” all the time? Do you start a lot of your sentences with “So”? Do you have hackneyed phrases that show up far too often? “At the end of the day....” “When all is said and done....” I once sat in a seemingly endless 45-minute presentation by someone who said “in terms of” constantly (“In terms of time, we had to spend an extra two months on the project in terms of the schedule.”). Learn to avoid those sorts of things, lest your audience spend more energy counting your tics than they do listening to what you're saying.

Sure it looks good but when all is said and done people like that tactile feedback of knowing that they pushed that button.
