...cold truth of the matter, though, is that there's not much Washington can do to gin up permanent jobs on such short notice. The federal government is a key player in engendering job growth in the long term - by establishing smart policy in areas such as trade, education, immigration, health care, energy, infrastructure and taxes - but over the course of months or even a few years, there's little it can effectively do besides hiring directly or stepping in as a buyer of goods and services...
...sucker for a wounded soul and for some reason, she finds Greenberg appealing. It can't be the sex: these are the least loving, least sexy, driest sex scenes ever filmed. (He tops off a halfhearted tour of her body by asking if that's a cold sore on her lip.) Like practically every female character ever created by Woody Allen, she inexplicably desires a jerk she feels sorry...
...Russian political circles, Barack Obama's election tended to evoke two different reactions. Many officials were curious to see what new deals he would offer, but others, in the tradition of the Cold War, dismissed him as just the latest mouthpiece of the old American élites.

It was a huge relief to American troops, who had been trucking most of their supplies through the death trap of Pakistan...
...Perhaps more disturbing is the return of Cold War rhetoric ahead of Clinton's visit. The most alarming exchanges have centered on a new missile shield being proposed by Obama to protect against threats from Iran and North Korea. The new shield would be built farther away from the Russian heartland, but it has still roused the same fury from Moscow, which last month renewed its threat to point tactical missiles at Europe. And in December, Putin suggested the possibility of a new arms race between the Cold War foes. (See action-figure pictures of Vladimir Putin...
