...about racism and democracy. Barack Obama's selection of Joe Biden as running mate shows wisdom in balancing his own weaknesses (political and governing experience and foreign policy). Aging and angry John McCain picks young Sarah Palin, ambitious but inexperienced and not remotely qualified for a position that demands brave yet sensible world leadership. In South Africa, our precious 15-year-old democracy is dominated by a single party that has chosen a leader with no governing track record, intent on quashing a state case against him for fraud. This same government, notes Perry's report, owns 24% of Sasol...

So far, the cruise company is holding out hope that the port might be open. But looking at the pictures from the island, which people say smells like a lumber yard due to the destruction, it's hard to believe anything there...
...much heralded debut album, released on Sept. 8, boasts a mile-high Phil Spector-style "wall of sound" built - as it was by fellow Glaswegians the Jesus and Mary Chain - with brooding, layered guitars and pounding rhythms. Those expansive, girl-group arrangements are the epic backdrops to Glasvegas' brave and brutal lyrics. "Where Spector came from I guess is quite a good place to go if you want to land some punches and deliver something that's furious," says Allan. "We really didn't want to mess about...
