...this garment? I started to do the research. It is in fact body-shaping underwear and it says things on the website like, "It's power panties." The only thing I could think, truly, is that if women had power, they wouldn't need Spanx. Aren't I right? So I threw them away...
...that you want to try to do better, and I thought especially now, there's so much going on in the world and it's difficult, and people are struggling. And wouldn't we be better off if every New Year's, we thought about the things we did right and we resolved to keep doing them, no matter how wacky they were.

Since 2002, U.S. officials have tried to secure the right to truck food and other supplies from Europe to its troops in Afghanistan via Russia and Turkmenistan, but have been consistently rebuffed. The U.S. has only been given permission to fly humanitarian supplies through Turkmen airspace - but no military hardware. Earlier this year, Gen. David Petreaus, chief of the U.S. Central Command, met with Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, who became Turkmenistan's new President when Niyazov died in 2006, but was unable to persuade him to open his country even a crack...
