...Check, a World Series title in 2005, their first since 1917. The Red Sox? C'mon, didn't you see one of the 129 tomes touting that 2004 title, their first in 86 years? (And they won again last October, so greater Bostonians, please spare us any more soppy, self-pitying salutes to Pesky, Yaz and Teddy Ballgame.) As another October arrives, there's only one baseball team yet to shed its truly historic loser label. Sure, the Cleveland Indians have been championship-starved since 1948. But when you haven't won a title in, literally, a century, like those...
...barring an economic miracle, his party will win the next British general election. The Conservative Party of Margaret Thatcher and John Major was torn apart by infighting, much like the Labour government is today. Families across many classes are feeling the credit crunch, and people will not tolerate the self-centered government of Gordon Brown while people suffer huge increases in the cost of living. The government of Major lost because of infighting. History is repeating itself. David Cameron could be what Britain needs, a confident and natural Prime Minister in the style of Tony Blair, but without the endless...
What, then, needs to be done? Government and central bank action, around the world, must have two objectives. The first is speedy intervention to prevent a self-perpetuating downward spiral, which means protecting depositors at minimal long-term cost to the taxpayer.

...proposed use of these (so-called / quote / quote-unquote / lame-sauce) student life funds is (unfair / inequitable / not going to increase my self-confidence when I’m at the Ten-Man). So the money is going in part to house formals? What about the kids without tuxedoes? This policy clearly favors the (wealthy, who can readily afford tuxedos / middle-class, who save up for tuxedos / working-class, assuming they are paid-in-kind tuxedo-factory laborers). It would seem that party grants also served a limited populace, since statistics say that in 200 times only X percent...
...starting to view Israel as a future binational state." In other words, forget about Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's threats to wipe Israel off the map. Echoing views he initially expressed in 2003, Olmert reasons that without an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank, the Jewish state faces the self-inflicted, mortal danger of being destroyed by demographics, overwhelmed by Muslim and Christian Arabs demanding political representation. Olmert fears that the international community could ultimately favor a one-state solution, thus spelling the death of the two-state partition that has been at the core of an acceptable Israeli-Palestinian...
