...honey, in the form of good jobs, recreational opportunities, decent housing-the myriad elements that factor into a city's lifestyle. It will also require a certain amount of buzz-and Singapore is not currently thought of as an exciting city. Not that it isn't a model in many ways. It's admired for its efficient government, first-world infrastructure, solid educational system-a real plus if it is to attract high-income talent from overseas-and clean, crime-free streets.

And there's the for-junkies-only joke, resurrecting a six-month-old charge that Romney's landscaping company employed illegal immigrants from Guatemala. As an added bonus...
...hook so easily. He's a member of the Texas bar and subject to the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. One of those rules says, "a lawyer shall not engage in conduct constituting obstruction of justice." The rule is based on the American Bar Association model rules, which refer to "Conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice". And since the Acting Attorney General - the arbiter of all things legal in the Administration - had already decided that the eavesdropping program as constituted was illegal, there's a good argument that Gonzales at least attempted to interfere with the administration...
