...sick of the sour grapes from naysayers who moan about what the iPhone doesn't do and ignore what it does do and just how well it does it.

Some students said they felt less affected by the strike because of the limited viewing selections in most Harvard dorm rooms...

Democrats and Republicans alike believe that the most important thing is for their party take the White House, with the identity of the man or woman occupying it only a functioning as a secondary concern. But 2008 is a pivotal year, and the problems we face are too urgent and multitudinous to ignore the very important differences between candidates...
