...Stone, conceived the role for Barry White, another soul basso whose music soothed where Hayes' prowled and pounced. But Hayes did splendid work (his lines usually taped by phone from New York) for the first nine seasons, in which Chef was virtually the only adult character treated with affectionate respect. Parker and Stone also gave Hayes his last hit single: a ribald novelty tune, Chocolate Salty Balls, that went to No. 1 in the U.K. and No. 2 in Ireland. It was a fine tribute to the prime singer-songwriter of gourmet sex: Hot Buttered Soul, Chocolate Chip, Juicy Fruit...
...make no mistake, this crowd is linked, inextricably and powerfully, to the elderly power brokers dining, rather more formally, 30 miles to the south. In China, respect for your elders, for your forbears, is even more important than making money. And as Robin Li, the Baidu CEO, told a friend, parties like the one at the Commune last night don't arise out of thin air. They are not a historical accident.

A woman who spent her life advocating for the rights and respect for people with disabilities was referred to as "suffering" from her disorder and "bound to a wheelchair." While most people working in special education and other areas of disability advocacy have adopted the practice of using "person-first" language (not referring to people by their disability or capitalizing on sensational statements like "suffering"), the media consistently lag behind. We should not presume that a person with a particular disability "suffers"; in fact, she used...
...True, Obama has asked Clinton to give a prime-time speech on the second night of the convention later this month. But as the odds that she will be Obama's running mate have faded, there are signs that Clinton's backers could demand one last show of respect before Obama claims the nomination in Denver. Clinton has been giving tacit encouragement to suggestions that her name be placed in nomination at the convention, a symbolic move that would be a reminder of the bruising primary battle. "No decisions have been made," Clinton said when asked in California - to whoops...
