...recovering presidential candidate, let me remind Red Sox Nation that it's not how you do in April, it's all about winning in late fall. Trust me, I know. On a serious note, everyone needs to exhale. This guy has been baseball's best big game hitter the last three seasons. It's April. It's cold. He's coming back from knee surgery. Get out of his way. Give him air. Let Papi be Papi. For once, can we not be the Chicken Little Nervous Nellies of yesteryear? This guy carried us to two World Series championships...
...Hamas’ genocidal rhetoric is not limited to Israel, however. They have also begun advocating attacks on Americans. “America is offering political, financial and logistic cover for the Zionist occupation crimes, and it is responsible for the Beit Hanoun massacre.

(Per capital gross domestic product is little more than $4,000 a year.) It is also one of the hemisphere's most corrupt, which Colorado critics blame on so many years of one-party rule - 35 of those under the brutal and venal Stroessner until his 1989 overthrow. Paraguay's government has been civilian since 1993; but a recent survey found that more than...
Lugo sees the electricity deals as one solution. Rising demand has created an energy crisis in South America, especially in growing economies like Brazil; and Paraguay's hydro-electric dams on the Parana River provide one of the nation's most valuable commodities (and almost two-thirds of its GDP). The market value of the electricity Paraguay sells to Brazil and Argentina each year is estimated to be more than $3 billion; but Paraguay receives less than $1 billion for it. Lugo wants to renegotiate that arrangement, and many if not most Paraguayans back him. "We've been robbed...
