...have been killed by swine flu. More than 100 in seven other countries are infected. But it almost doesn't matter that Obama has had no Health and Human Services Secretary to manage the response--or a surgeon general or a head of the CDC or a border-patrol commissioner. The contingency plans were already in place...
...skiers and snowboarder who ducked the rope at British Columbia's Grouse Mountain resort earlier this year freely admitted what they did was wrong. Despite high avalanche warnings throughout the region, the four young men passed a boundary into closed terrain - even after an explicit warning from a ski patroller not to go out of bounds. Because of the hazardous conditions, ski patrol was unable to follow the entourage into the closed area and instead rescuers had to use a helicopter to guide them to safety. When the group reached the bottom, they were stripped of their passes, banned...
...similar scenario for the Coast Guard. Even if you were to take a canoe out into the Atlantic in the middle of a hurricane and the Coast Guard had to use a 110-ft. patrol boat (which costs $1,147 per hour) or a C-130 turboprop airplane ($7,600 per hour), you wouldn't have to pay a dime.

...changing a police culture can take years, and Calderón can't keep soldiers on Mexico's streets forever.

...grant an exception for foreign participation in college bowl games, but I'm betting they'd agree. American Airlines might decide to move out of Dallas, but I'd be O.K. with leaving NASA behind and letting Texans decide if they could afford to return to the moon. Border-patrol costs would be steep, but I'm sure Texas' application to join NAFTA would be favorably received. And it would get a vote at the U.N. and the right for its diplomats to park wherever they wanted on the streets of Manhattan. Texas would saunter into the global community bigger...
