Obama's last visit to Saddleback was in December 2006 when he and Kansas Senator Sam Brownback spoke at Warren's annual conference on HIV/AIDS. Brownback went first and joked to the crowd that the last time he and Obama shared a stage, it was at a meeting of the NAACP and he didn't receive the most rousing of welcomes. Turning to Obama, he said, "Welcome to my house." The crowd laughed, but when it was Obama's turn, the Democrat had a message for his Republican colleague. "With all due respect, Sam," said Obama, "this is my house...
...Producing many of the Stax hits of the '60s, Hayes and Porter helped define that studio's sound, which dispensed with the pop craftsmanship of Stax's main rival Motown Records and, taking inspiration from James Brown's mid-'60s ravers, revved up the motor of testosterone.

Does Barrett have a slacker son (Chris Pine), who needs to learn responsibility? Check. Is there a comely intern named Sam (Rachel Taylor) for him to fall in love with? Double check. Does he have a rival for his affections in Gustavo (Freddy Rodriquez), who also happens to be a promising (and very soulful) vintner himself? Triple check. You can bet that crisis comes to the Barretts, in the form...
...this week's election was less about whether Hun Sen would win - a CPP victory was always a given - but about how big that win would be, what gains opposition leader Sam Rainsy might make at the ballot box, and what this would mean for the balance of power in Cambodia. And the results suggest suggest that balance has tipped in the CPP's favor more than than ever before. Though he did not vote for the CPP, Dara, a small business owner in Phnom Penh, said the ruling party's win was a result that even he could live...
