...don’t have that in our country. In Iran, we do not have this phenomenon. I don’t know who’s told you that we have it.” The audience could only laugh. Bollinger questioning, combined with Ahmadinejad’s utter lack of engagement, sent a strong message to the audience that his world view is not grounded in reality or rationality. While not discourse in the literal sense, Ahmadinejad’s speech spoke volumes.Ahmadinejad’s invitation and Bollinger’s introduction also served to stimulate...
...first things Roman Catholics do when they enter the confessional is utter how long it has been since their last confession. But Franca Gargiulo can't remember the last time. Gargiulo is a spiritually thoughtful woman who went to Catholic school as a girl and at 44 still attends Mass at St. Dominic Catholic Church in San Francisco.

It’s unfortunate that some students are peeved about not being able to find stored items, but overall this is not cause...
...secretary for popular former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi - a post he held for a record 1,259 days, a period unmatched by any other post World War II minister - Fukuda earned a reputation for calm competency that should appeal to a public and a party still shocked by the utter disintegration of Abe's administration. But it seems far less likely that Fukuda will be able to help the LDP at the ballot box. (Legislative elections aren't scheduled until 2009, but with the opposition empowered by its recent win, early polls seem inevitable.) Clever and even cutting in person...
