Almost all the water that used to flow into the river is now diverted for human use, and in past decades, both the Israeli and Jordanian governments have blocked off the Jordan's sources. The relative trickle is so shocking that American pilgrims are often heard exclaiming "That's it?" when crossing the river at Allenby Bridge, the checkpoint separating the Kingdom of Jordan on the river's east bank from Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories on the west...
From the distinctive cymbal crashes that punctuate Simon and Garfunkel's The Boxer to the chugging beat of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire, the work of drummer Buddy Harman can be heard on some 18,000 recordings. The Nashville native took to the drums at a very early age, following in the footsteps of his mother, who played percussion in the family band. Over the course of his nearly half-century career, he mastered a wide variety of styles. He became a fixture in Nashville, accompanying everyone from Elvis Presley and Tammy Wynette to Dolly Parton...
...more striking when, practically midsentence, her tone and temperature totally change. We have seen Cindy McCain much more than we've heard her until now, and she has always benefited from the element of surprise.

Until very recently, she could just head off and do her thing, have a life far away from Washington intrigue: no cameras, no questions, with missions to Nicaragua, Kuwait, Vietnam, Afghanistan...

I had a dark red grape called Marechal Foch from Pennsylvania that was really different. After all this, though, I still don't know if terroir matters. It could be that the South's muscadine grape is inherently horrifying or just that...
This may be the city's only chance to be heard this campaign season. There's little reason to expect the Republicans to seriously address Katrina at their own convention in St. Paul. Katrina is a reminder of the Bush Administration's often bungled, uncompassionate response. So what will it take to get New Orleans back on the agenda? I am praying that the answer does not have to be Gustav...
