But of course, this was a tax on coffee, a sacred cow in the cradle of Starbucks, and this man, a cafe owner, took advantage of that sentiment to protect his profits. People like him managed to convince the rest of Seattle that this tax was an assault on their culture and to disregard the actual merits of the policy. Which brings me to that fellow in the White House...

Even the upbeat love story Ballad of a Teenage Queen has a spooky side; it sounds as if it's beamed from...

Indeed, it was largely in her honor that 82.6% of the electorate turned out to vote - they paid their respects by participating, not by agreeing with her. Their anti-euro sentiment is shared by many in the U.K. Two key factors drive that opposition, and prevent Tony Blair from calling a referendum: the torpid pace of economic growth in the euro zone, predicted this year to reach just 0.4%, and the prospect of ceding even more power to Brussels.
