...have a face and a voice to go with the object of our wrath: Suleman, who bears an ironic passing resemblance to celebrity multimom Angelina Jolie, sat down with NBC's Ann Curry to start to tell her story; the full interviews will air today and Tuesday. Suleman said plenty that will make people squirm even more. But she also exposes how publicly divided and personally judgmental we are about decisions that are, under any normal circumstances, none of our business.

Coach Jason Saretsky pumped his fist into the air with satisfaction as he watched the last member of his 4x400 relay team sprint across the finish line. Immediately, chants of “Crimson” and “Number One!” were heard from both the track and the stands, as athletes and spectators alike made their approval loud and clear after realizing that the men’s track team had just pulled off an upset in nail-biting fashion.

...anyway, say the London atheists, it's actually the Christian adverts that may be offensive to some. While the Humanist Association defends the right of Christians to air their views, many of its members object to the Christians' choice of words.

Last year he defaulted on some $3 billion of Ecuador's $10 billion foreign debt, saying the loans had been contracted "immorally and illegitimately" a generation ago when the nation...
Killeen also countered published reports that Suleman was trying to negotiate becoming a broadcast-TV child-care expert (NBC denied it paid for its interview with Suleman, the full version of which was scheduled to air on Feb. 9). She did confirm, however, that it is Suleman's desire to pursue paying projects about the birth of the octuplets. "It's not true that she is being paid multiple millions of dollars for going on the media," Killeen told King. "She's not on welfare, has no plans on being a welfare mom and really wants to look at every...
