...Buffett who steals the show, as shots of the billionaire investor singing and swaying à la Axl Rose from a spotlight-illuminated stage are juxtaposed throughout the 2-min. 24-sec. video. His grand finale comes in the final 30 seconds when he stretches out his tattoo-laden arm to an unseen audience and croons into the mike, "You bring out the best in me / You can always turn to me ... / We're always true to you / We'll do it all for you ..."

Hamas is certainly more than happy to encourage a grass-roots challenge to the negotiation policy...
...From the time the sun set Tuesday evening, Tehran was filled with the sounds of small explosions and the smell of smoke. Police and Basij militia presence throughout the city was as high as it has been at any point since last year's controversial presidential election, but for the most part, the law-enforcement officers remained cool, with some officers even joining crowds around bonfires and chatting with the attendees. Some small scuffles broke out when Basij arrived to break up impromptu block parties. (See pictures of Iran's antigovernment demonstrations...
