And as this recession deepens - and the economic pain spreads far and wide - that perception is dangerous. I'm just a guy who lives in Shanghai, but from a recent, relatively long visit to the U.S., I think a potentially poisonous populism - a very, very angry populism - lurks just beneath the surface these days.

...Lowdown:As Alexander points out, much has already been written of the abuses inflicted by the U.S. military upon prisoners under its care.

Bouscaren even takes credit for a cheap shot that he didn’t commit. But his antics seem to always backfire, such as when he draws a flag for a facemasking penalty on Harvard quarterback Frank Champi ’70 that gives the Crimson better field position and allows the team...
...Robert is the guy I want in the foxhole with me during incoming fire...If I'm wrong, he challenges me. He's not intimidated by me."- Barack Obama, on Gibbs' "tell it like it is" relationship with the president-elect (Wall Street Journal...
