...Palin's most alarming beliefs. Yes, she's a woman, but she's a woman who doesn't believe in science, a woman who believes that abortion should be illegal under any circumstances, and a woman who is the poster girl for the extreme right-wing religious element of the Republican party. None of these beliefs seemed to matter to Gibbs, but they matter to a majority of American voters who are looking for sound leadership and not a continuation of the culture wars.

...Mbeki's ouster is certainly a victory for the more hardline element among Zuma's supporters, who had been calling for the President's head ever since a judge last Friday threw out corruption charges against Zuma on procedural grounds.

Lacking precision-guided bombs, the Pakistani military has been forced to rely on ground operations against Taliban and al-Qaeda militants, which eliminates the element of surprise...
...This gourmet locale across the street from American Apparel sells what store manager David Kim calls “a weird mixture of foods,” including exotic teas and gluten-free treats at prices comparable to Broadway Market. But Market in the Square brings a much-needed element to Harvard: a 24-hour deli. Its pristine buffet ($7.49/lb) offers an impressive spread of cold salads, sushi, and hot dishes, and its made-to-order sandwiches ($6.75) include tasty combos like prosciutto and mozzarella. “I think this place is pretty sweet,” says...
