...interview with Congressional Quarterly. Last week Brennan withdrew his name from consideration for the top job at the CIA, after an outcry of protest from Obama's liberal supporters.

...album. The songs leading up to it are violent. The beginning of “Something, Anything” blares like the Arctic Monkeys. Healy basically screams all of “Long Way Down,” his voice audibly straining to articulate the rage of his harshest lyrics: “Mama / An eye for an eye / You said you’d never take a side / Papa / I’m too young to die / They’re never taking me / They’re never taking me alive.” “Broken...

Some of the harshest criticism Kryzan faced in the primary season was for working as a lawyer for the chemical company responsible for the Love Canal disaster of the late 1970s and early 1980s in Niagara Falls.

...that last statement, of course, that requires faith - in God, or in Warren. Even the pastor's harshest critics admit that he has a gift for picking good lieutenants and a near superhuman adaptability. A neat example of this is a document Warren has sent out called "PEACE 2.0," listing eight changes to his original plan. And while he once disdained working with existing Christian NGOs, he is now looking for ways to partner with some that can supplement his short-term army's wide-eyed enthusiasm with experience and cohesion. One NGO has already proposed running...
