...What's this big mystery around your character? O.K., I'll tell you. We're going to find out at the end of the season that her name is Adriana Le Cerva, and I've been on the lam. It's the only show that can probably get away with that giant sense of humor thing...
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who supports Obama's call for more European troops in Afghanistan, says it's important to tell the "true stories of what's going on.

Nothing feels quite as pleasurable as working yourself into the ground, crossing off that item from your to-do list, and then promptly adding some more items in preparation for the coming week. Man, that was awesome...
