...Tuesday, most Zimbabweans were gloomy about the prospects of a resolution. University of Zimbabwe lecturer and political commentator John Makumbe said Tsvangirai had been pressured to accept a "half-baked agreement" before discussing it with his party. He added that he thought the U.S., Britain and Europe would also reject the deal. "Our woes will continue," he said. "The country will continue to be in limbo." In central Harare, newspaper vendor Kingstone Bere accused South Africa and other mediators of siding with Mugabe, adding they were "not concerned about the welfare of Zimbabweans, but about the welfare of Mugabe...
...them by." Still Chang, who described the panel members as "the Mount Rushmore of current gastronomy," wasn't troubled by the prospect.

Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every...
...Highways 21 and 70 in Babbitt. Meanwhile, states like Alabama, Kansas and Texas have been releasing lists of shovel-ready transportation projects that are dramatically skewed toward out-of-the-way sprawl roads. Missouri's list was all roads, none of them in St. Louis. Obama has vowed to reject earmarks, but if Congress simply passes cash to the states according to the usual formulas - and it will unless Obama intervenes - America is in for yet another festival of asphalt. There is even talk of waiving the regular cost-sharing requirements for local and state governments, an excellent...
