...Wright, who is clearly a political liability. But I think he is being naive. There are just too many easy attack ads, piling up in the Republican library. (Michelle Obama: "For the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of my country." Rev. Wright: "God DAMN America.") Maybe it's a shame that you have to try to exhibit a treacly, shallow patriotism to be President. But John Kerry got hammered just for protesting the Vietnam War, a war that George W. Bush ducked.

Braddock continued, “Now, have I got an oral exam for you all. I want you all to get up here and show me the best damn keg-stand you’ve got.” His guests, meek and submissive after months of self-imposed solitary confinement, readily formed a line.

Jobs had grown scarce, and few in the shrinking high school classes stayed after graduation...

...haven't exactly been flattering to the family dynasty that runs the place: the late Kim Il Sung (the "Great Leader") and now his son, "Dear Leader" Kim Jong Il. But mostly it's because the North Koreans, in their bull-necked isolation, pretty much don't give a damn what the outside world thinks of them...

...arrangement would be the best of all possible combinations. Obama would bring the inspiration of Kennedy's Camelot, Edwards as Vice President would preclude Bill's getting in the way, and Hillary would get a policy-heavy job she can sink her teeth into. The ticket would be so damn compelling, the Republicans would probably concede in October. Ronald D. Green, San Jose, Calif...
