...Thaksin Shinawatra last Sept. 19. At first, the overthrow of the billionaire P.M. was greeted with much public acclaim. Today, however, the CNS is increasingly under fire for a lack of vision and high-profile policy missteps. Although the junta promised to restore stability to Thailand after months of anti-Thaksin street protests, bombs erupted in the capital on New Year's Eve, and violence in the country's largely Muslim south has escalated. The CNS-appointed government spooked investors by briefly unveiling capital controls and proposing limits on foreign businesses in Thailand. At the same time, it has been...
...Democrats, Clinton's lead has eroded since the last TIME poll. Obama has closed to within 12 points (36% to 24%), gaining seven points since January, a reflection perhaps of the dust-up over anti-Clinton comments by Hollywood mogul David Geffen, who is now supporting Obama.

That's a grim prescription given that senior Taliban Commander Mullah Dadullah promised in a phone call to Reuters last week that "this year will prove to be the bloodiest for the foreign troops...
...audience can tell that Baron Cohen’s anti-Semitic jokes are worth more than the little slapstick gags that pepper his routines. Borat in thong underwear may be designed to get a few chuckles, but when an enraged Kazakh crowd yells “Kill the Jew-egg before it hatches!” the laughs are enormous. Unlike the more benign jokes in his routines, Borat’s anti-Semitic ones are designed to provoke...
