...transportation. Recall, please, the national mood in the 1970s: after the 1960s party, we found ourselves in a slough of despond, with an oil crisis, a terrible recession, declining productivity, a kind of Weimarish embrace of cultural decadence, national malaise. And yet at that very dispirited moment, Federal Express, Microsoft and Apple were all founded. Even now Apple and Amazon and Google have been doing better than the rest of the economy. The next transformative, moneymaking technologies and businesses are coming soon to a garage near...
...with Democrats. Conservatism is under the radar sometimes. The media does a good job portraying conservatives as old white men who smoke cigars, but that's not it at all. I'm here with hundreds of conservative kids today. I actually think of a lot them are afraid to express themselves for fear their peers might look differently at them. I've had liberal professors who would purposefully single me out and say things just to get me riled up. I kind of took it as my duty to sit in class and give the other side, because nobody else...
...produced have opened well and, more important, had staying power - what the industry calls "long legs." The final theatrical earnings for Virgin and Knocked Up (which he wrote and directed as well as produced) were about five times their opening-weekend gross; Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Pineapple Express made about four times their openers.

For most audiences, Apatow's 2-hr. 24-min. attempt to encase a James L. Brooks-style...

But some high-profile works such as the $10.7 billion Hong Kong-Macau-Zhuhai Bridge have been criticized as unnecessary vanity projects, while others are said to be wastefully duplicative - some 300 km of the Shanghai-Nanjing Intercity Railway and the Shanghai-Beijing Express Railway, for example, are overlapping routes. Some local governments have also been discovered to be faking documentation and even entire projects. (See pictures of Beijing...
...with the bazaar, Mousavi does not have a positive record with many bazaaris either. Older bazaaris can still remember Mousavi the firebrand leftist, who as Prime Minister in the 1980s was associated with price controls and food cooperatives during the Iran-Iraq war. But younger managers and workers generally express support for Mousavi, even though, as one pointed out, "Mousavi never visited the bazaar before the election." Bazaaris felt slighted by the snub, and since the bazaar's merchants are still a main conduit to Iran's smaller towns and rural areas, this was undoubtedly communicated outside the bazaar...
