...also would trim the overall U.S. force slightly, as well as cutting forward-deployed forces in Europe and East Asia. He'd unilaterally shrink the U.S. nuclear arsenal from 6,000 to 1,000 warheads. "This number," Korb insists, "is more than enough to destroy any possible targets and deter any nation contemplating the use of weapons of mass destruction." (Read the full Korb report here, which also features a nifty ever-rising tally showing how much money the Pentagon is spending every second you spend at the site...

After years of cajoling, the world's richest nations had placed the principality on a blacklist of countries that failed to adopt sufficiently tight rules to deter money laundering.

...shown as much shotmaking skill. Vijay Singh works as hard on his game. Ernie Els has as much poise under pressure. But no one combines these traits like Tiger. His long, high tee shots allow him to sail over the trees, bunkers, ponds and other obstacles that trap or deter lesser golfers. He routinely hits unreachable par-five holes in just two strokes. He can hit a soft, high nine-iron shot into par-fours where others face more difficult shots with middle and long irons...
