...printed” on the pages which now serve as the video’s sets. The clip is a boringly meta, dreary treatise on absolutely nothing new. The line between fantasy and actuality is blurred beyond belief and as a result, the video is pushed out of the realm of anything interesting or watchable. Rap videos are supposed to be fun and titillating. This titillation, however, doesn’t only come from the video vixens and conspicuous consumption that have become a staple of the genre. It’s a result of a kind of double Schadenfreude...

"Gazprom is running out of gas reserves," maintains Mikhail Krutikhin, partner and top analysts with RusEnergy, a respected fuel realm Moscow-based analytic service. He notes that the company did not offer any supplies for sale on the most recent auction in Russia's small domestic commercial market, and explains that during its 15-year existence, Gazprom has commissioned just one new field, while rapidly depleted Soviet-era fields...
CORRECTION: A Feb. 7 op-ed, "Britain and Catholicism" incorrectly stated that Canada is a commonwealth of the United Kingdom.

It is here that Day exposes his full self to scrutiny. All is bared: his torturous conception of love, his conflicted feelings about his low class origins, his insatiable desire to learn. Cogito...
...voters' concerns. This shift exposes one of McCain's weaknesses. He is a conviction politician, passionate about the issues that animate him, dismissive of and uninterested in those that don't. Iraq, foreign policy, the military and treatment of veterans - these topics get him excited. In the domestic realm, he's fire and energy when he rails against pork-barrel spending. But mention other issues - taxes, health care, education policy - and he briefly resorts to talking points before changing the subject.
