Apparently, this aphorism applies even when the absent party is an abstruse and foreboding series of numbers that once leered over your meal options. Somehow, old friends who once had nothing but vitriol for the quasi-meaningless card stock feel lost without them, which is a problem in itself...
...will be looking for redemption after a 2008 season that lacked their usual displays of dominance. The heavyweight varsity eight failed to make the Grand Final of the Sprints for the first time in 44 years.

Absent from the list of Obama's "lies" is his declaration that McCain is OK with the war in Iraq continuing for 100 years if need be. That pronouncement far exceeds any exaggerations from the McCain camp. The media's love affair with Obama is well documented. Nevertheless, TIME magazine should...
