...elsewhere for an alternative to a candidate they are already a little uncertain about. To say nothing of Ohio Democrats, who did not exactly swamp Obama with votes in the March 4 primary (he won exactly 5 of the state's 88 counties.) I wonder how many days of clean-up visits those remarks added to Plouffe's plan to contest the Buckeye state - or whether his comments could prove to be a self-fulfilling prophecy...

...that is already devastating many communities, from Iowa's second largest city, Cedar Rapids (pop. 124,000), to one of its smallest, Chelsea (pop. 276). Later, it will be about dealing with the aftermath - the nasty consequences of flood water that Iowans remember all too well from the miserable clean-up of homes, businesses, and farms after the floods...

Burma's military leaders have deemed the relief and rehabilitation stage of the post-Nargis clean-up "successfully carried out."

"Internationally, as countries endeavor to expand nuclear power generation, many seek to address the clean-up associated with legacy nuclear infrastructure. With our major presence in the U.S. and Europe we are in an excellent position to benefit from that trend." The report also says EnergySolutions' "business would suffer" if applications like the one in question were not granted...

...from the rest of the world for decades, the residents of Rangoon were surely not expecting cavalcades of foreign aid workers to descend in the wake of the cyclone. But what must seem particularly galling is the absence of Burmese military troops participating in the clean-up effort. In September, when thousands of monks led country-wide protests against rising commodity prices, soldiers from the 450,000-strong army responded with chilling brutality, sending rounds of live ammunition into the burgundy-robed demonstrators. The official government death toll was 31, although international observers believe the actual figure was far higher...
