...Dull and Duller Re your 10 questions with Bobby Jindal [March 16]: If I hear another Republican politician spout the talking point that health care should be between patient and doctor and not a bureaucrat, I'm going to pull out what little hair I have left. My wife and I are self-employed. Our health-care costs eat up much of our annual income, and neither of us has a chronic illness. I would much rather have a bureaucracy deliver affordable coverage at whatever inconvenience than be squeezed dry by rapacious Republican-loving drug and insurance companies. Mark Dunn...

In the bank? This seemed like a much safer bet, a bet that returned for over 30 years...
...While Aso's star turn at the G-20 could help Aso at the polls, the fate of his administration will more likely be decided by his ability to pull Japan out of its economic tailspin. The public's lack of confidence in the government's handling of the economy has benefited the opposition party, the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) - so much so that it could wrest control of government from Aso's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) for the first time in decades in the next general election. There has been speculation that Aso might call an election...
