This White House is certainly not the first Administration to milk religious groups for votes and then boot them unceremoniously back out to pasture. In his days as a notorious "hatchet man" for President Richard M. Nixon, before he had allowed Jesus to transform his life, Chuck Colson used to oversee outreach to the religious community. "I arranged special briefings in the Roosevelt Room for religious leaders, ushered wide-eyed denominational leaders into the Oval Office for private sessions with the President," Colson later wrote. "Of all the groups I dealt with, I found religious leaders the most naive about...
...many different sounds can be used to create something so monotonous. The only traces of the band’s former three (or fewer) chords and a cloud of dust Velvet Underground homage style are in the tracks that bookend the album, “Pass the Hatchet, I Think I’m Goodkind” and “The Story of Yo La Tango.” But while the track finds a nice few-note melody and leans on it for 10+ minutes like back in the day, there is a sense of restraint...

Many observers--especially France's sometimes intractable unions--expected similar tough love in early February, when Ghosn unveiled his ambitious four-year plan...
...Saturday, and a number of vehicles thought to have been connected to the raid were detained in Kent. Dixon's Nissan was found at the Cock Horse pub, and a red van that the gang is thought to have used turned up at another inn, the Hook and Hatchet. (We are not making this up.) On Friday, following a tip-off - that big reward talking, maybe - the police picked up yet another van in the car park of the disappointingly named Ashford International Hotel, this one with cash inside it. Two days after the Securitas job, there was a copycat...
