...Bush White House and Republicans across the country, there was no more heartening aspect of the election than the fact that Schwarzenegger cut deep into constituencies that Democrats regard as their own. "Significant parts of what the Democrats take for granted as their base cannot be taken for granted," says Bush-Cheney campaign manager Ken Mehlman. In union households, Schwarzenegger ran roughly even with the leading Democratic contender, Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante, and he won nearly a third of Latinos and close to 20% of African Americans. He did far better among women than strategists on either side had expected...

For one thing, it will be impossible to create a new government without Sunni participation, and the traditional Sunni political party, Saddam Hussein's Baath Party...
There is a strange, but pervasive concept that we are not really supposed to enjoy our work. We create a needless dichotomy between work (bad or neutral) and leisure (good). Too often, we regard work simply as a means to a later goal of leisure, and we view leisure hours as intrinsically more valuable than work hours. By placing a premium on time off, people are willing to spend up to 100 hours a week working at a job they hate, only to spend a few hours partying at the swankiest, most exclusive clubs.
