Gen, though, would rather be eating a hamburger with her boyfriend than practicing triple-axles at 5 a.m. Who knew? Everyone knows pretty girls can’t eat burgers...

Thomas Metz, admitted last week that right now, security conditions in four Iraqi provinces militated against holding elections. Those four provinces, of course, include Baghdad, and between them house as much as half of Iraq's population.
