...stipulating, in part, "I am your slave." His for-profit work tailed off; but his entrepreneurial bent flourished. In the 1950's, conservative Christian youth had begun an exodus from small bible colleges into liberal arts schools, wildernesses of secularism. Sensing a market, Bright founded Campus Crusade's first branch, at UCLA...
...Mark Thompson: Even though treaties have to be ratified by a two-thirds majority in the Senate, the ability to withdraw from a treaty is unilaterally vested in the executive branch. That means that while the Democrats can make a lot of noise, there's not a lot they can do to actually stop the President withdrawing from the treaty.

None of them are insufferable, but the only one that totally kicks ass is American Hi-Fi's "Vertigo," which happens to be the lone slab of undiluted Cheap Trick-era rawk. It doesn't extend an olive branch to hip-hop fans with a DJ scratch, or to metal fans with a jackhammer riff , and who cares? You can dance to it or make out to it or, I suspect, execute cheerleading moves to it. It's encouraging that movies like the "American Pies" seem to believe teenagers...
