...held a fundraiser for Obama this week, blasted Hillary Clinton in the New York Times as "ambitious," called her husband "a reckless guy" and said the pair "lies" with "such ease, it's troubling," Clinton's campaign attacked Obama for allowing his supporters to practice the sort of "slash and burn" politics the Illinois Senator preaches against. Obama's campaign responded by attacking the Clintons for letting Geffen stay in the Lincoln Bedroom after he raised millions of dollars for Clinton's reelection, and blasted one of Clinton's supporters, black South Carolina state senator Robert Ford, who has repeatedly...

With every passing fraction of a second, the pizza loses a bit of its airy perfection. The other...
Across the country, carbon emissions have actually grown more than 8% since 1990, a pattern reflected in Kyoto itself, where the number of cars increased from 1.3 million in 1990 to 2 million in 2002. The nation as a whole will need to slash emissions about 14% to achieve its targets. Which raises the obvious question: If ultra-efficient Japan can't wean itself from the carbon habit, what hope does the rest of the world have...
