...coast-to-coast red-eye flight and chug a Pepsi for breakfast to revive. You hop in your rental car and head for your business meeting, but wouldn't you know it, the GPS is malfunctioning in the car and you get lost. You show up for the meeting late, edgy, and shaking. You have to excuse yourself to hit the bathroom because you've got a stomach bug and antibiotics just aren't helping. Not to mention the fleas that seem to be leaping from the carpet into your socks. Halfway through the meeting a pest-control guy steps...
...government tried several stop-gap measures to no effect and in late 1992 opted for a complete re-booting of Sweden's financial system. Conservative Prime Minister Carl Bildt's administration sat down with the center-left opposition and came up with a bipartisan, multi-tiered approach.

Jackson thinks it's possible that McCain's record is now lopsided enough that he may actually be in the rare position of risking a backlash from voters. "We may be seeing the start of a narrative that John McCain and Sarah Palin are running an untruthful campaign...
...toxic. "Divided parties don't win elections," Ed Miliband warned a rally in Manchester. His elder brother, Foreign Secretary David Miliband, declared his loyalty to Brown, but he is seen as the front runner to replace the PM, and relations between the Foreign Office and Downing Street of late have been about as cordial as those between Britain and Russia. And though David Miliband has not done so himself, some MPs have called for a leadership contest, among them Fiona Mactaggart, a former minister. "I think Labour can win, but I don't think we can win with Gordon...
