...speech which has not come before. The inclination to convince citizens that they face an unprecedented challenge and that it rests with them to create a solution for themselves and for the world, for this time and all time, is irresistible and repetitive. (See pictures of the build up to the Inauguration...
...Congress and administration seem likely to use $825 billion in aid and $350 billion in TARP money to bring down the tax burden, salvage troubled mortgages, and create a great series of public works projects. These programs are supposed to create over three million jobs as they build energy, education, IT, medical, and broadband infrastructure.

Water landings (attempts to bring an aircraft down in a controlled manner on water) and water crashes (which are anything but controlled) are somewhat of a mystery to the engineers who design, build and study aircraft safety features and procedures. It's difficult to predict how an aircraft will hold up on impact and after crashing: will it break up and quickly sink, or stay intact and float long enough for passengers to evacuate, as it is designed to do? Variables such...

Boris Johnson, London's Conservative mayor, is an enthusiastic proponent of an alternative plan to build a brand new airport in the Thames estuary.
