...number of the large countries that make up the E.U. began to form political and military and alliances after WWII and these expanded as the Soviet Union dissolved. Through the current financial crisis there has been very little coordinated economic policy among these same counties even though some of the economically weaker ones would certainly benefit from a program to shore up the financial health of the region by providing a pool of capital for temporary...
...threat of union, however, has now led to a parliamentary crisis in the young Himalayan republic. On Monday, in a dramatic climax to a televised address to the nation, Nepal's Maoist Prime Minister Prachanda resigned after the President thwarted his move to sack the country's army chief.

...this realm there are no pretenders; for this is a movie age when the all-male bro-mance is like the Soviet Union of genres (action-adventure being the U.S. of A.). Given the dominant zeitgeist, few actors would be caught dead trying to appeal to women. McConaughey not only consents, he does it with a cheerful grace, as if he actually enjoys appearing in crappy films that lure the ladies. When Ghosts of Girlfriends Past opened last night - earning a decent $6 million, but nowhere near X-Men Origins: Wolverine's $35 million - it performed best among Females Over...
