...only is Hillary ready to run, but she's also ready to govern. Unlike the current occupant of the White House, she has the intellect and ability to make this country as good as it was when her husband was President. And if, God forbid, we should ever face another disaster like Hurricane Katrina, Clinton wouldn't leave thousands stranded for days in a sports stadium...

...What we've found out about Mrs. Rajabi is disturbing: that she believes Ahmadinejad is a divine miracle, that she is intolerant and linked to political groups who would govern Iran with 7th century mores.

...than a face-to-face conversation? New research out of Princeton suggests that we actually process moral decisions in a different region of our brain when human contact is eliminated. If we have to confront the person, we process a moral decision in the parts of our brain that govern emotional empathy and social intelligence. If we only have to push a button, we process the decision near our temples, where we do our logical processing. We become dispassionate computers. And jerks...

...Patey warned that "the prospect of low-intensity civil war and a de facto division of Iraq is more likely at this stage than a successful and substantial transition to a stable democracy. Even the lowered expectation of President Bush for Iraq - a government that can sustain itself, defend itself and govern itself and is an ally in the war on terror - must remain in doubt." He stressed that all was not lost, but his prescription for reversing the slide to civil war was a reminder of the growing challenge facing coalition forces in stabilizing Iraq...
