...while we’re at it you could blame the woeful kicking game that forces the Crimson to go for it on fourth down because field goal “range” is an unknown concept. This is the same kicking game that often leads Harvard to forgo extra-point attempts for two-point conversions—which it’s not so effective at either...
While most of the American political universe spent the week focused on Howard Dean?s ill-advised comments on guys in pickups with confederate flags - Dean was making one of the most pivotal decisions of his run for the White House: He has decided to forgo federal matching funds and the spending limits that come with them. Dean knows his fundraising efforts, which have raised well over $25 million so far, can raise much more than the $45 million he?d be limited to spending between now and next summer?s convention.

...credits for tuition-paying families and incentives for colleges to provide generous financial aid will ultimately be more effective at making college affordable for low and middle-income Americans.

...weeks ago, Senator Joe Biden had a perfect little epiphany: Why not pay for the $87 billion that's needed for Iraq by asking the wealthiest 1% of Americans to forgo their Bush tax breaks for just a year--2010? The Bush breaks, after all, would be worth $89 billion that year. "I haven't found one single wealthy American" who wouldn't be willing to do that, Biden told Fox News. The idea has been gaining steam among his fellow Democrats in the Senate and may be introduced in the House by Congressman Tom Lantos of California. It probably...
