...electorate - the fourth in five if one looks beyond the posthumous regard accorded Ronald Reagan - reveals more about us than about him. It is no accident that the past three decades have seen the rise of sound-bite politics, of snarky bloggers and strident talk radio, not to mention cable "news" largely preoccupied with the trivial, the tactical and the tawdry. Factor in an ever more fragmented audience, and the bully pulpit of Teddy Roosevelt's imagination is in constant danger of being drowned out by a Twittering choir...
...hammering on your ankles and the angst of launching yourself into four revolutions over a sheet of unforgiving ice. Plus, if you fall on the quad, it's an automatic 1.0-point deduction and a downgrade of the jump to however many rotations you actually completed, not to mention those deductions for not executing the jump.

They tend not to mention that those plants were financed by the French government...
...Lebanon as its most glorious moment, when its proxy Hizballah forced the West and Israel out of Lebanon. It left Hizballah with the enviable reputation of being the only force in the Middle East to have beaten both the West and Israel. Not to mention that Hizballah is now the de facto government in Lebanon. No wonder the IRGC would like an encore in the West Bank and Gaza, where it has been arming militants for more than a decade...
