...Iowa. "Hopefully, I'm going to be able to go back to that style of meeting people one-on-one and in small groups, having conversations," Obama said in an interview with the Philadelpia Inquirer late last week.

"In our view, even if we're in a deficit in the state, if we can get it closer than it is now then...

Kessler posted a season-high 28 saves and leads the nation with a .961 save percentage and 0.86 goals against average. “She played very well,” Stone said. “She made some big saves.” The Big Green...
...realize that the rest of the world is responsible for an African country's drought and poverty and that in order to prevent another Darfur, we must halt climate change. What an arrogant, ignorant idea. Sub-Saharan Africa has been and will remain a place that will barely eke out life in the best of times and will remain poverty stricken despite the rest of the world's climate policy. I have sympathy for the people of Darfur, but advocating steps to stop global warming is just wishful thinking, and using the people of Darfur to further a purely political...
