...arms and legs. Phronakson arrests about 10 foreigners a month, usually for drug possession. The word among foreigners is that for a 70,000 baht fine, about $1,800, the Thais will deport you rather than imprison you. As for the Canadian currently being held in the second-floor lock-up: according to detectives, he's ingested too much lamphong, a locally grown intoxicating flower that causes vivid hallucinations and can cause permanent psychological damage. They'll be shipping him to a psychiatric ward on the mainland, to a place called, of all things, Suan Sanarom--the Garden of Joys...

For a 0.3% fee, you can each year lock in at the current account value so that if the stock drops, say to $120,000 the following year--and you drop--your heirs will still get $150,000. If you're under age 60, however, the cost may outweigh the rewards of just being patient...
...waxing lyrical about "compassionate conservatism" and running through a checklist of memorized policy positions every time he speaks, Bush has tried to hone down his message as much as possible to just two issues: tax cuts and education. By showing off his education-policy expertise, Bush hopes to lock in the advantage he has built over McCain with women voters. And by touting his plan to slash $483 billion in taxes over just five years, he believes he can solidify his support among traditional Republicans, especially those in tax-allergic New Hampshire, where Primary Day is just two weeks away...
