...senator,'" he joked. As one of the impeachment managers in the House in the late 1990's who tried to remove President Clinton from office, he's an unusual ally for Hillary. But Graham seems eager to capture the prize of most unpredictable Republican, usually held by McCain or Nebraska's Chuck Hagel. While much more conservative on social issues than those two, Graham has already demonstrated independence on other issues: earlier this year, he sharply questioned Alberto Gonzales during his confirmation hearing and he has proposed a Social Security plan that would raise the amount of income that...

Within the week after I had returned from Trieste, EPA staff had been called to numerous White House meetings to discuss...
...better to simply let Holiday describe it in his own words: “This is a picture of my castle. It’s the only dorm off campus, who cares. the ‘Go Irish’ was painted on before the 2000 Nebraska game and was broadcast all over the country. Living here is cool but you have to either beg or pay a girl to come out and see you unless your a stud...
