...Klein talks about Bush's "intellectual laziness," which suggests Bush had the intellect, but was too lazy to use it. Why doesn't Klein call a spade a spade?

The twist is that the government can buy those shares at a set price - an average of what the company's stock was trading at during the 20-day period prior to its initial investment.

...cubes, but narrow enough to sip without spillage (sports caps are available too), the Klean Kanteen 27-ounce stainless steel bottle kept ice water cold for a two-hour-plus flight. The Kanteen comes in four other sizes, including a 12-ounce "Sippy" for babies, and seven hues - in plain gray steel for us minimalists, and enameled exteriors in vivid, solid colors like Ocean Blue and Orange Sunset.
