...enjoy reminding you to put your seat belt on. Sure, it was a little weird when he started campaigning for President in 1992, but we looked past that because he had given us so much and because back then running for President was just an adorable hobby designed to entertain Larry King. When Nader ran in 2000, taking key votes from Al Gore, however, he alienated every conceivable base. Now Democrats hate him for getting George Bush elected. Republicans hate him for getting George Bush elected...

Its eccentric brand of nostalgia is manifest: until the McCain story hit the Web, sitting atop the website’s “Most Emailed” list was a story about “celebrating the semicolon” on a subway poster.

Better yet, he could have stressed that the best way to entertain a young mind is by reading books. Jody Weissler, CEO, Childrensbookradio.com, Woodland Hills...
...evenings free of meetings and state occasions, she and Denis often entertain. If after-dinner conversation wades too deeply into politics, Denis is likely to excuse himself to watch television. Even when Thatcher is finished with postprandial conversation, the day is not over: she sifts through the papers in her red leather briefing boxes before turning out the light. Weekends are usually spent at Chequers, the Prime Minister's official country residence in Buckinghamshire. While Denis practices his putting on the lawn, his wife writes letters or reads (her favorite author: John le Carre). But even in the solitude...
