...trillion dollar baseline budget. Bush has made a $70 billion supplemental request for his pet projects, bringing the total projected military budget for 2009 to a mind-numbing $585.4 billion (this excluding another $50.5 billion in appropriations to the Department of Homeland Security). Perhaps a comparison can draw into relief the scope of this budgetary immoderation: with these endless hikes America has earned the lamentable distinction of spending as much on war-making as the rest of the world combined. Indeed, if we disregard the 13 other highest spenders (for the most part American allies), Washington actually throws more than...
...very original interplay with a vibratto-heavy guitar (think “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” but less cheesy). “The Fox” manages to convey a sense of foreboding thanks in part to the haunting cello, which is quite a relief after so much uniform distortion.

...real mood in the country was closer to relief then joy. If Nikolic had won, his victory would have signaled an end to Serbia's efforts to join the European Union, and a step closer toward its becoming Russia's satellite. Even Tadic, addressing the crowd from the balcony of his party headquarters in downtown Belgrade, conceded that it was a close call. "There's no time for a big celebration party," he said. "Much needs to be done." More than 2.1 million people, or 47.7 percent of the electorate, voted for Nikolic, while Tadic got just over 2.2 million...
