...trip is unconventional, from his choice of towns that he is focusing on - Clinton strongholds like Scranton, Altoona, Wilkes-Barre, mostly working-class and white with lots of Catholics - to his quirky events. The Illinois Senator has scarfed down a hot dog and then gone bowling in Altoona, fed a baby cow in State College, sloshed back a beer and watched college basketball in Burnham, sampled the fares at a chocolate factory in Reading and, oh yeah, led some town halls and rallies as well. "I've been having a good time," Obama told an audience...
...Transparency International ranked Afghanistan 172nd out of the 179 countries surveyed last year on its corruption-perceptions Index. Hardly surprising, then, that despite thousands more troops on the ground and billions of dollars in aid, the Taliban insurgency has only grown stronger. Ordinary Afghan people are fed up with a government that has squandered their faith and hope by pillaging whatever small treasures remain after 27 years at war.

I was living in France during the 2005 referendum campaign, and it was clear that the treaty was rejected largely because the French were fed up with change after change being imposed on them in the name of Europe. What they wanted was stability: to know where they stood, and to remain first and foremost French...
...than a pit of snakes this summer. That's because the durability of the movie industry during economic downturns is a Hollywood axiom, like the notion that any movie with robots will open at No. 1 and all actresses over 40 live on a farm where they are well fed and exercised. Still, the widely accepted idea that movies are recession-proof will be tested in new ways in coming months, as Indy and Batman do battle with stay-at-home entertainments people have already put on their credit cards, like iPods and plasma-screen...
