...scandals. But when he became the Republican nominee, his across-the-board opposition suddenly became inconvenient. Aid to Israel and military housing is funded through earmarks, so McCain had to make it clear he'd protect those programs from cuts. He made a similar exception during his anti-poverty tour in April, when he visited an African-American community in Alabama that got ferry service through an earmark. He then met a Pennsylvania woman with ovarian cancer who was being treated through a clinical trial funded by an earmark; he assured her that program was worthwhile...
...Union impossible, even for its most die-hard defenders: he made illusion not merely stupid but wicked.”But there was a sinister side to Solzhenitsyn’s character which has largely been neglected in the orgiastic aftermath of his death. Solzhenitsyn was a reactionary with anti-Semitic leanings, scarcely circumspect about branding Bolshevism as a Jewish plot against the Russian people.

The case involves a suitcase filled with $800,000 in cash that was seized at the Buenos Aires airport in the summer of 2007, allegedly being delivered on behalf...
...Hakurozan, 26. Both denied using marijuana - Roho appeared on television, saying "I have never seen or even touched the stuff," while Hakurozan promised that a further test would clear their names. Bad idea. In the second test, this time administrated by the only Japanese facility recognized by the World Anti-Doping Agency, samples from both brothers tested positive. Professor Shohei Onishi of Keio University said last week that the tests had found five times the standard amount in Roho's sample, and double that in Hakurozan's, adding that that the only explanation would be directly smoking the substance.
