...complicated. Warner notes that Iowa bloggers are occasionally wary of him, wondering if "we are being manipulated" by a candidate reaching out to them. "People [on the Internet] kind of look at things with jaundiced eyes," he says. "When you?re out campaigning and meeting people, people may think ?gosh, that answer stinks,' but normally keep comments to themselves. In the blogosphere, you make a comment, there?s no compunction with people saying I disagree." But Warner, like many pols, says he'll keep trying to try to connect with the Internet constituency. "You?ve got to have a thick...
...jubilant Michael Cullen, the Finance Minister, said the sale represented "700 million votes of confidence in the New Zealand economy." Gosh! Aside from questions a visitor might have about the economic value of the Kiwi cult of selling second-hand stuff to each other, it's also tempting to ask whether the sale would have happened without the involvement of expatriate Kirk.

The identity of the other competing authors is a strict secret, but it's a safe bet that the trustees of London's Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (gosh), to whom Barrie bequeathed the royalties of Peter Pan in 1929, had more bankable names than hers to pick from. She jokes that fame has eluded her because her name is hard to pronounce (say Ma-cork-run) and has to be printed small to fit on the spine. Fame...
...meant and how nervous it made me and all of my friends and how it turned knees to jelly. Really the Birmingham demonstrations in '63 were the first events that turned me political. I was 16, and I had just gotten to the point where I was saying, well, gosh, when I get impossibly old and secure, like 30, maybe this is an important enough issue that I would stick my toe in the water and try to help, and then lo and behold, I look on TV, and there are eight-year-old girls-mostly girls-marching into those...
