  Talk Is Cheap by Ron Steinman- The Digital Journalist
Consider that almost everything on TV news is talk, talk, all the time.
It is cheaper to produce talk than it is to produce stories with pictures from the scene of the event.
Previously, we did a standup one of three ways: to open the piece, in the middle to bridge from one section to another, and/or to close the piece on camera with the sign-off.

  Talk Is Cheap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Talk Is Cheap is the solo album debut by Keith Richards, co-leader of The Rolling Stones, and was released in 1988.
The songs recorded for Talk Is Cheap find Richards in a confident and carefree mood, with a very natural air to the preceedings.
Released in October 1988, Talk Is Cheap was released to a very receptive critical reaction (many reviewers jokingly called it the best Rolling Stones album in years) and it peaked at #37 in the UK and #24 in the US, where it went gold.

 Encyclopedia: Talk is Cheap
Nevertheless, it is regarded by many as a classic rock and roll record that proved Richards was the core creator for the band he formed in 1962 with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones.
Richards did not shy away from songs which exemplified his past ("Take it so Hard" and "Struggle"), yet Talk is Cheap is a complete record, and more memorable for an emerging confidence and mature musical voice.
Talk is Cheap reignited the Rolling Stones, the biggest tour to date would follow in less than a year of Richards' solo effort.

Talk is discounted because people often rationalize their past behavior and don't do what they say they will do.
Thereby economists use talk, their own assumptions rather than asking people what they are doing.

 Jonah Goldberg's Goldberg File on National Review Online
The point here is that the Europeans, the Japanese, and — to a somewhat lesser extent — the South Koreans argue for talking through their problems because, like a thick wad of food stamps burning a hole in their pockets, talk is pretty much the only currency they have to spend.
Second, because the Europeans must rely on talk, diplomacy, negotiation, engagement — different words for the same tool — to solve their problems, they are more willing to promise things they otherwise wouldn't.
Like the kid living off his Chevron card, they've come to believe the world is like a giant college campus, where conflicts may erupt in the form of debates and shouting matches but violence is simply "against the rules," and where being asked to pay your own way in the world seems an absurd injustice.

 AJR - On TV, Talk is Cheap – And Very Profitable
Yet for all of the success of "Nightline," talk on TV is more routinely found in marginal time slots or on cable channels that regularly measure their national ratings in thousands of households, not millions.
It is no coincidence that the number of talk radio stations has quadrupled over the past decade as AM stations have lost more and more of their market share to FM's superior music delivery.

The connections were erratic and we used the old two-way radio etiquette of saying "over" to indicate we'd finished speaking and it was the other person's turn.
To do it, you'll need a few things including a broadband connection, which is more suitable as the speed of the data transfer affects the quality of the communication.
You will also need someone to talk to - if you're willing to shell out a few dollars to experiment, you can call anyone; if you want to experiment on the cheap, you'll need to rope in an equally enthusiastic friend who also has broadband.

 TALK IS CHEAP | Daily Policy Digest | NCPA
Ever since biochemists learned to treat mental diseases with drugs, psychotherapy (or talk therapy) has fallen out of favor in the psychiatric field.
However, a new study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry finds that talk therapy works just as well as chemical therapy, and is superior after accounting for the lower relapse rate.
But if talk therapy's results last for extended periods, than it would be cheaper in the long run to hire psychotherapists instead of indefinitely refilling prescriptions, say the researchers.

Pyongyang is particularly interested in Bush's State of the Union address at the end of the month, the forum the President used in 2002 to depict North Korea as part of an "axis of evil" along with Iraq and Iran.
Pyongyang has a long history of threatening to walk out of talks in order to extract concessions—and cash—from its opponents.
Says the diplomat: "The giving can be endless." Despite hopeful speculation, a resumption of talks may depend on cold, hard cash.

When he says Europeans are "convinced" that their "model is valid for other parts of the world," he is basically saying that we can drape Europe's legalistic-political system across any hotspot on the globe.
The problem with the European model is that it doesn't recognize that talking is only useful when both sides of the conversation act in good faith.
For example, when Saddam Hussein or Yasser Arafat talk, they are merely saying "nice doggie" until they can find a rock (or a suicide bomber).
