...general spending from fiscal 2009 to 2010, in an attempt to break the deadlock over the gasoline surcharge issue - although it didn't work. Neither did the proposal of Hiroshi Watanabe, the person Fukuda nominated on Monday for the deputy governor position. Again, the DPJ was expected to veto a former official of the Ministry of Finance. In terms of BOJ nominees, it looks like the parties are tied at 3 - but at least when it comes to this Friday's G7, Japan can put this to one side and play a real part in the meeting...
...problem. How couples deal with that really becomes the issue. We discovered in the survey, and it bears itself out in my practice, that the person with the lower sex drive controls the sexual relationship, not out of a need to manipulate or control, but because they have veto power. If they're not in the mood, it doesn't happen. There's an unspoken agreement: the person with the lower desire expects his or her spouse to accept it, not complain about it, and also to be monogamous.

...Treasury plan could prove a preemptive anti-regulatory trap - hardly the first time Bush has pulled off such a gambit.

SIIC, however, has squandered its mandate and has been unable to deliver services and improvements to its constituents. With Sadr now planning to run a slate of candidates there in elections originally scheduled for this October, SIIC fears that the implementation of the Provincial Powers law will only further weaken its hold on the south, especially if a strengthened central government can swoop in and remove inimical SIIC governors. The polls, which will elect...
...White House called the law's setbacks "democracy at work." And in some ways, that's right. There is a Civics 101 debate for Iraq's parliament to work through here. But in this case, Abdel-Medhi's veto has a whiff of desperate self-preservation, given how much his party stands to lose when the law passes. Now the law is back to the Iraqi parliament to be revised. It will need a two-thirds majority to pass when lawmakers return from their recess on March 18. While the debate may be contentious and the law's language...
