His website, TomDeLay.com is now almost politics-free and has been renamed Dancing with DeLay. "His distinguishing characteristic is that he works his butt off," says Feehery. Yep, that's happening too. He told Burke he'd lost...

But in elections to the lower house of Japan's parliament on Aug. 30, voters swept out of power the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which had ruled Japan for all but 11 months of the past half-century. The opposition Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) won 308 of the 480 Diet seats at stake...
