...rule forever and who does not respect the will of the people, because the will of the people was expressed clearly on March 29, and it will be reaffirmed again on the 27th of June. But still the remaining question is, Will he concede? Will he accept a smooth transition? That still remains a vexing question...
...last robot on Earth, like the first man, should find his EVE (for Extra-terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator). She has been sent as a probe from the gigantic spaceship on which all humans were evacuated 700 years before, and where their descendants live in pampered placidity. EVE is as advanced--smooth, sleek, white, egg-shaped, with glowing blue eyes--as WALL?E is clunky.

No matter what Hillary Clinton says about healing the Democratic Party, it seems clear the mistrust between Obama and her (and their respective supporters) runs deep. Finding common allies to smooth things over, like Illinois Congressman Rahm Emanuel, is essential. On the Republican side, Scott McClellan's book has infuriated many Republicans but has flustered them as well: If you can't trust a longtime Bushie like Scott not to be a turncoat, whom can you trust? The game of leisure chicken...
