...same time, actually getting the vaccine to the people who most need it - pregnant women, kids between the ages of six months and 24 years, health workers - hasn't been easy either. Complaints of vaccine shortages have emerged around the country, and local public health departments say they don't know when more vaccine will arrive. Worried parents say they don't know where to go to get the vaccine for their kids - their doctor's office, the school, a local hospital? Nor is it clear who should get the bulk of the complaints - while the federal government...
...California, to borrow a phrase, will be back. It's been stuck in an awful recession - not quite as awful as Nevada's - but it's getting unstuck. It's made nasty cuts to close ugly deficits, but it hasn't had to release prisoners or close parks, and its IOUs are being paid. Its businesses aren't fleeing to Nevada or anywhere else; Jed Kolko, an economist at the Public Policy Institute of California, has shown that fewer than one-tenth of 1% of its jobs leave the state each year. Even California's real problems tend...
...hadn't been for Saddam Hussein, because he called me this "unparalleled serpent," and I had the snake pin. That elicited something from the reporters. And then I thought, Well, that was fun, so I went out and bought some costume jewelry. From everything I can tell, it hasn't distracted.

I was on an airplane coming back from Europe two days ago, and I didn't have...
...some ways, the Darfur activists' problem over the past few months hasn't been Obama so much as his special envoy to Sudan, Scott Gration. A decorated soldier who commanded the no-fly zone in northern Iraq for 2½ years, Gration campaigned for Obama last year, giving him much needed cachet among the military set. But his Africa experience consists of being raised by American missionaries in the Congo, from where they were evacuated three times - he likes to remind his African interlocutors that he too was once a refugee...
...appointment of Gration was something of a surprise to Washington's Sudan watchers; Gration's own first choice was to head NASA. And as a plainspoken first-time diplomat, Gration hasn't exactly been careful with his choice of language. Before a Senate Foreign Relations Committee in late July, Gration testified that sanctions on Sudan should be loosened, a statement he had to retract within days. Earlier, he asserted that only "remnants of genocide" remain in Darfur, provoking fury from Darfur advocacy groups and directly contradicting his boss's position: Obama has said three times since January there is currently...
