...what you’re thinking: Pointless paper shuffling, deeper deficits. Where do people get the nerve to suggest more bureaucratic mess? Creating another cabinet-level department would waste precious time, energy, and resources. On the other hand, the unemployment rate is into double digits, and we need to flesh out some fresh ideas for recovery...
...lovers of tuna. In Tokyo's upmarket Okusawa suburb, the lunch crowd at the sushi restaurant Irifune has thinned out. Katsumi Honda, Irifune's owner and head sushi chef, rhythmically chops blocks of pink and red flesh behind a counter.

In part because Blagojevich is a very good politician, the reception is warmer than you might expect. He embraces an elderly supporter, quizzes a high school track team about its choice...
