...leader Bill Frist hopelessly behind schedule on other bills that he wanted to rush through before the Thanksgiving recess. Reid planned everything carefully, down to his diet. So he wouldn't be forced to go to the bathroom and lose his right to the floor, he ate only a slice of wheat bread and a handful of unsalted peanuts for breakfast, kept Senate pages from refilling the water glass at his desk and made sure he sipped only half of it during...
...blaming Kerry avoids the real dilemma. The Democrats have lost a good slice of less educated, less wealthy white Protestant and Catholic voters. Their economic issues are not nearly as compelling as the Republicans' religious appeal. There is a good reason for that, and it has to do, oddly enough, with a reality oft cited by Democrats and ignored by Republicans: the middle-class squeeze.

(The name nouvelle manga deliberately echoes nouvelle vague, the French name for the New Wave cinema of the 1960s.) "Nouvelle manga" refers to any comic that taps into this mutual appreciation. To that end Fanfare/Ponent...
...where one of their number lives, the young men pass the wine and play with the red-laser sight of a Glock pistol. Yehoshafat lights another cheap cigarette, combing his long, square beard with dirty fingers and pulling his big, knitted yarmulke down to his eyes. Yair eats a slice of barbecued lamb with his hands. Elisha points through the silent darkness to the lights of nearby Israeli settlements and tells the story of King David's meeting with his wife Avigail in the valley below. The hilltop, settled by a few youngsters in defiance of the Israeli government, bears...
