...revelatory book. (Did they think the vaunted Bush message discipline and loyalty would last for all eternity?) And some of those who had the difficult job of covering the Bush White House day to day had not expected the underestimated McClellan, of all refugees, to be the one to pull it off. (Note to Karl Rove: McClellan just about tripled the pressure on you to tell us something we don't know when your memoir hits the bookstores...
...enforcement officials worried. Though flavored malt beverages make up less than 2% of alcohol servings in the U.S., alcohol-policy experts have long worried that many of those servings are consumed by minors who have no palate (yet) for real beer. The new alcoholic energy drinks have a further pull on the youth market: the promise that you can get drunk but still party all night because of the caffeine.

The committee, meanwhile, seems to be moving toward a solution that would seat roughly half of each delegation (which...
...Ironists like Stewart and Colbert have to do an awkward dance between sobriety and sarcasm when the real goods walk into the studio. Interviewing Obama just before the Pennsylvania primary, Stewart played it straight, before a closing zinger - demanding to know, on behalf of the American people, "Will you pull a bait and switch, sir, and enslave the white race?" Obama's ear-to-ear grin was maybe his least sincere moment of the campaign...
