...Obama has called for increased regulation, which seems like a no-brainer, but he hasn't articulated many specifics. Meanwhile, McCain has talked about ending "wild speculation" and railed against Wall Street greed. Well, duh. Know anyone who is in favor of naked greed? Whoever wins will face a massive job of righting the financial ship and restoring confidence that has been badly shaken. The next President will have to cast away partisan predispositions and add the just-right measure of regulation and oversight to the mix. As Treasury Secretary (and former Goldman Sachs chief executive) Paulson recently said...
Public-health experts are now fighting back with a new online campaign. On June 11, New York University, Public Health Solutions (a New York-based nonprofit) and a filmmaker named Todd Ahlberg launched a website called hivbigdeal.org.

There’s actually a Ben Affleck joke in the show.RR: So, Brian has a role in the cast. You didn’t want one?KC: Um…RR: Oh, yeah, it?...
...equally frustrated by all the Flori-duh jokes still rippling from the state's 2000 presidential recount debacle. But for all those laughs at its expense, that mess revealed what a crucial swing state Florida had become, and Crist feels the state was squandering its kingmaker cachet with a primary so late in the season. By leapfrogging ahead of the Feb. 5 Super Tuesday contests, the Sunshine State has landed in a larger national spotlight - and so has its irrepressibly sunny governor...
