...Some bookstores around the country are holding "Pynchon Nights" and others may schedule special events around the new book's release. But Penguin is deliberately keeping hands off such hoopla. "We're respecting the author's choice for us to stay apart from these things," says the Penguin rep. "Oh my god, that book will sell itself - there's a built-in audience of his fans," says Charles Day, marketing manager at the popular West Hollywood, California retailer Book Soup. Day expects to trumpet the release with large window displays, staff recommendations, and prominent placement of the hefty volumes near...
Wishful thinking has blamed current ills on pork, former Rep. Mark Foley, the immigration and Social Security impasses, lobbyists, and the like—effectively everything except for the party’s ill-advised and disastrous foreign policy, the true cause of Republican misfortunes.

Ron Lewis shocked the state's Democratic establishment to win a special election in central Kentucky that many say helped presage the GOP sweep that fall. And this Northern Kentucky district, stretching through 24 counties along the top of Kentucky, from the suburbs of Cincinnati all the way east to the coal fields on the West Virginia border, is its most conservative enclave, where President Bush won 63% of the vote in 2004. Davis won the seat easily two years...
...Still, President Bush's approval ratings, even in friendly Kentucky, have steadily declined this year, and Davis felt the need to pounce on what he called the House leaders' failure to respond to questions about former Rep. Mark Foley's interest in young pages working in the House. In addition, as Keene points out, both candidates in this race are pro-life, pro-guns, and anti-gay marriage...
