...President likes to hold his cards close, so it's easy to misread or over-read his statements about things he doesn't care to talk about. But that sure sounds like Washington-speak for, as my mother and grandmother say when you're on the way out the door, "It's been nice knowing you." The Treasury Secretary is partly about inspiring confidence in the markets, so it was no help when the Bloomberg terminal beloved by traders and analysts carried the headline Wednesday morning, "Treasury's Snow Suffers From Faint Support in Robust Economy...
...have been murdered in the name of religion. There is no reason to forgive the subhumans who murder, and even less reason to forgive those who incite them.

After an almost flawless 2005, when she emerged as the party's most sought-after spokesman, she has seemed to stumble a bit this year. She attracted a little more attention than she intended when she likened the G.O.P.-controlled House of Representatives...
...time. Few books have so vividly portrayed the initial fragility of what now seem eternal works of dramatic writing. Schneider specifies some literate imbeciles who offhandedly dismissed the talents of Beckett, Harold Pinter and Eugene Ionesco. He recalls how Bert Lahr willfully misread Godot, trying to recast it as one of his old vaudeville routines. He depicts runaway egotism among the stars of Virginia Woolf, one conniving to get her husband hired in place of her leading man, another threatening to quit because everyone else in the cast was taller, and he therefore felt emasculated. And Schneider cites Williams...
