Some of these attacks - those criticizing Obama's inexperience - are well within the bounds of traditional politics, but the uninterrupted gush of negativity has successfully diverted the media's attention from the fact that 80% of Americans think the country is moving in the wrong direction...
September is the time India's big-game anglers pack their 10-weight rods and waders, and head to the Himalayas for a tryst with the golden mahseer, one of the fiercest freshwater fish in the world.

Drunken college students, and other young revelers, would gush into Copley and Kenmore squares, lubricated into a Dionysian frenzy by a victory in which they played no part, but for which they felt invincibly enjoined to turn over cars and set a lot of things on fire. Of course, the Boston police would already be waiting for them, foaming...
