...easier. I much prefer the humane banker to the manipulative social worker. I have seen one student group whose members were so busy planning their high-minded service events that they left their own bridge housing rooms filthy for nameless custodians to tidy up. Maybe they were in a rush to go petition University Hall to offer custodians higher working wages. I bet those custodians wished that the students had just thrown away their trash instead...
...predictable as Rush Limbaugh sparking a controversy: every few years, someone in Congress brings up the Fairness Doctrine. In 1987 the FCC abolished the policy, which dictates that public broadcast license-holders have a duty to present important issues to the public and - here's the "fairness" part - to give multiple perspectives while doing so.

But we should have learned from the pre-election bailout package...
...House in a generation. Gibbs often deflects the harshest questions with a quick joke, sports metaphor or canned response about Obama's plans to "change" Washington. Once the cameras stop rolling, he retreats to his office for a moment alone to power down. "There is a pretty big adrenaline rush when you are out there," he says. "You do need about half an hour to just sort of decompress...
