...simply no way a McCain Administration could pass the kind of large-scale conservative initiative--think of Reagan's big tax cut in 1981 or George W. Bush's in 2001--that fires up the GOP base. Facing large and aggressive Democratic majorities in Congress, McCain will have to drink deeply from the well of bipartisan compromise if he wants to get anything done. The alternative will be veto upon veto as he tries to remain ideologically pure...
Cadbury Schweppes' two-pronged portfolio of candy and soft drinks wasn't too far off strategically from the soft-drink and snack-food approach that has served PepsiCo so well. The difference is that Pepsi has Pepsi, not Dr Pepper, as a top brand and an organization that can execute to the last bottle cap. For Cadbury, growing two separate businesses proved an insurmountable task, undone by bad execution, bad luck and the weird actors who dominate candyland--the secretive, privately held Mars Inc. and the stumbling, publicly held Hershey Co., which is controlled, ineptly, by the Hershey Trust...
...even closer to the wildlife at Discovery Cove, an Anheuser-Busch-owned day resort where the $289 admission includes all-you-can-drink beer. But the bottles of Bud Light Lime aren't the reason to go. The dolphins are. At first I was skeptical about swimming with a dolphin. At swims outside the U.S., the animals have been abused.

Givi Tadiashvili fled from a village near Tskhinvali, where he said looters showed up after the bombing ended, demanding water and wine to drink. They made his neighbor drink first, to make sure the liquids were not poisoned. Three villages were burned near his home. "They do it to show their aggression. It's their revenge not to let us go back," he says. Another man, taking shelter at an old school in Tbilisi...
...wasn't quite that light two nights ago. On Sunday, Cejudo couldn't keep his eyes closed. "If I can't sleep, I'll drink a whole gallon of water," he says. The problem: that imbibing bloated him like a balloon. He added 10 lbs. onto his chiseled, compact frame. So he spent Monday ridding himself of water weight the tortured way in which wrestlers usually do: Cejudo hit the sauna, then wrapped himself in a plastic sweatsuit and rode an exercise bike. He shed it all in 90 minutes...
