Klein does well to remind us that President Obama is a straightforward man who mistrusts sycophancy. The infuriating state of U.S. politics stems not from the President's performance thus far, but rather from the selfish, shortsighted opposition he often faces. Contrary to Mr. Klein's conclusions, however, it is stagecraft-obsessed politicians who ought to embrace President Obama's predilection for policymaking, not the other way around.

...judgment call though: back in the day we sometimes would operate if the fracture was really bad.

...this week at Whistler, it's also been a test of being able to master the conditions.

Others worry that armed extremist gangs are radicalizing the youth of this marginalised, leaderless community, and suspicions of drug smuggling and an increase in petty crime in the camps have been recorded in the local press. With a new round of elections slated for later this year in Burma, locals are increasingly concerned that...
Boser says no one has yelled at her yet. She's one of the lucky ones. Granted, some volunteers are pretty clueless, giving you three different answers to the same question. And too often, they pester attendees for the wrong reasons. For example, ushers at the speedskating venue are fond of telling people to clear out of empty areas for fear of blocking traffic, ignoring the fact that the area is empty.
