...Many Arabic news media covered the story only sporadically or failed to pick up on it until days after the riots began, and opinion writers - who were especially prolific in defense of the headscarf martyr - had very little to say about the Muslims in China. An article over the weekend in Saudi Arabia's Arab Times likened the struggle of their Uighur "co-religionists" to that of the Palestinians and compared the Han Chinese to the Jews; and an editorial in Egypt's state-run Al-Ahram newspaper last week urged the international community to pay more attention...
...What do we know about her relationship with her daughters' clothing? Does she pick out what they wear? This is conjecture, because no one's really talking, but evidently she really gives them a lot of freedom in terms of what they want to wear. I think when you see them going to and from school, they really look like their own little people. Certainly for the Inauguration, the team that put Michelle together, and I do believe it was Ikram Goldman who did both the day and night Inauguration outfits, also dressed the girls.

Sometime in the near future, then, the U.S. will have to start living within its means - or at least a lot closer to them than it currently does. To keep this new American frugality from battering the global economy even more than it's been battered, somebody has to pick up the resulting slack in demand.

...Adding insult to injury, many say, was the indifference of the Western press. German papers at first buried the story, while it took several days for papers in other countries to pick up on it. There was also the added detail that Sherbini's husband was shot and injured by a guard who at first thought he was the attacker. And all that was compounded by the initial lack of a formal apology from Germany. (On Thursday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel offered her condolences to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak at the G-8 summit in Italy.) "Had the Muslim been...
...Michael Jackson's reigning final show - Tuesday's world-televised memorial - cost estimates came in significantly less than expected. But the question remains: who's going to pick up the tab? The city of Los Angeles spent about $1.4 million on all aspects of the memorial, city officials announced yesterday. This includes cleanup, traffic-diversion costs and overtime pay for the more than 4,000 police officers asked to secure various venues. That's good news in view of the $2.5 million - $4 million estimates, and it's less than June's Los Angeles Lakers' pride parade, which cost...
