While it's true that the Democrats could have passed the measure themselves, it was an Administration bill, moderated through a series of bipartisan compromises. And it was striking to see House Republicans distancing themselves from Bush now that the time had come to clean up the mess, because for eight years they've been his most loyal supporters on the economy, on Iraq, on just about everything except his efforts to rein in earmarks and farm subsidies...

The goalie came out and challenged McCoy, driving her to one side and smothering her all the way to the endline so that McCoy could not get a clean shot. Later in the half, freshman midfielder Carly Dickson ripped a shot from five yards in front of the goal that was aimed for the top right corner of the cage. Butera made a sprawling save, knocking the ball out of the air and allowing her defense to clear the threat...
