...four victories overall, including back-to-back defeats of the top and fourth seeds. With a stellar 4-3 decision over No. 1 Jeff Jaggers of Ohio State, Jantzen became the second Crimson grappler to defeat a national champion this season, following O’Connor’s upset of then-No. 1 Jordan Leen in November.“Corey wrestled a great tournament,” Weiss said. “He took on a wrestler [Jaggers] who’s very tough to beat. You can’t make mistakes, and he just wrestled...
Let’s say hypothetically that because of a few bad decisions and utter negligence on my part, I destroyed the Washington Monument. People would be upset. School children would lose a quality backdrop for photographs. Jerry Bruckheimer would no longer have the archetypical Washington aerial shot needed before the president decides to send in an elite team, always manned by Nicholas Cage, to kill someone.

...really, there's no such thing as a "filibuster-proof 60-seat majority," even if Martin pulls off an upset and Al Franken wins his recount against Republican Norm Coleman in Minnesota and Joe Lieberman still counts as a Democrat. Senators don't always vote in partisan lockstep; President Barack Obama could succeed in recruiting Republicans on some issues with a 58-seat Democratic majority, and he could find himself stymied by defections on some issues with a 62-seat Democratic majority. In the Senate, even one determined naysayer is capable of grinding the institution to a halt...
