...Democrats were dragged along on this adventure, carrying suspicions that it was, at bottom, equal parts political enterprise concocted by Rove, ideological enterprise concocted by utopian neoconservatives, and family psychodrama--young Bush avenging and one-upping his old man. There was, as always, a congenital distrust of all things martial among the "Democratic wing of the Democratic Party," as Howard Dean would say. And it was Dean who made himself into a semi-plausible contender by voicing these suspicions and by excoriating his fellow candidates for not standing up to Bush on Iraq...

They or their parents remained in their homes in 1948 and found themselves living in the new state of Israel. Though they lived under martial law for almost two decades, these Palestinians were distrusted by their cousins in the West Bank or in refugee camps throughout the Arab world.

Perry says he wants players to be staring slack-jawed at the screen--just as Neo was when he received his "knock, knock...
...trade of an entire region, nearly bankrupted airlines and spread panic through some of the world's largest countries has largely passed the U.S. by. Hospitals and schools were shut down last week in Beijing, thousands of people were put under quarantine, and rumors flew through the capital that martial law was about to be imposed. But in the U.S., only about 40 people are believed to have severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. The number of cases doesn't seem to be growing, and--most reassuring of all--as of last Saturday, not a single victim had died...
