...Even Elysée officials say it's impossible to know what a congress of nearly 20 national leaders will yield. "The fact that President Bush agreed to the summit is, in our view, a very significant development in itself," says Sarkozy spokesman Franck Louvrier. "As to exactly what will happen, it's too soon to know." So much for Sarkozy's swagger in insisting on major revision to aspects of the 1944 Bretton Woods treaty."Europe wants it," he said.

This would require the FBI to collect data on crimes against the homeless - data sorely needed by homeless advocates - in order to determine if they are hate-motivated attacks. The second bill...
...told about McCain's maneuvers, Obama's first reaction - according to an aide - was, "You gotta be kidding. I'm going to debate. A President has to be able to do more than one thing at a time." But there was a storm brewing among Obama's supporters in Congress and the Beltway establishment. "My BlackBerry was exploding," said an Obama aide. "They were saying we had to suspend. McCain was going to look more like a statesman, above the fray...
