It would be really nice of some of the brain wallet hunters would comment here: would the above phrases pop up in your dictionary search? I'm pretty sure some of them would have found it if any of those addresses had any funds.
Those phrases look like something you'd harvest from a news article. Since I'm not aware of any scrapers for harvesting phrases from news articles to build a dictionary out of, it is extremely unlikely to find any funds in such a wallet. But that doesn't waive my general dislike for brainwallets anyway (not standardized, easy to lose access to the tool used to make them, or even to use a compromised tool).
