...Romney campaign doesn't pretend the sour attitude toward its candidate doesn't exist. But chief counselor Ben Ginsberg insists- echoing one of the campaign's main themes - the attitude stems largely from the fact that Romney is "the outsider candidate. He's not from Washington and he's going to change Washington. He's not part of their club...
...confident that Mexicans are ready for Mexicanish food. Up to 10 more Taco Bells are in the works there through 2008, with plans to reach 300 eventually.

But it was inconvenient for the President to discover that both were appointed by the Emir rather than elected. Worse, one was hounded out of parliament in the face of impeachment hearings...
...mainstream heterosexual porn, the subject of Gail Dines’ talk, subjects women to unique forms of suffering. Dines characterized pornography as a “body-punishing industry” in which male actors with chemically supported erections test the limits of the female body. The women involved pretend to love it—most men, Dines admitted, are not sadists and will not enjoy porn that smacks of suffering—but afterward they are left to inspect themselves for the kinds of tears and ruptures that commonly result. Actresses are prone to Chlamydia of the eye from...
