...drive a Chevrolet pickup truck. I wear jeans and T shirts every day unless I have to be on TV. I said to someone not long ago, "Here's the problem that the media makes: They tend to think if you gave rednecks a billion dollars they wouldn't be rednecks anymore." Look at Elvis - he put carpet on the ceiling. We wouldn't wear Armani suits, we would just go to every NASCAR race. Once it's in you, I think it's always...

...keep that from happening, Karzai needs to show results--fast. Afghans say he must dismiss corrupt officials, improve law and order and use foreign aid money to build long-promised roads, dams, bridges and schools. This would win back many Afghans and stall the Taliban's advance. But it wouldn't be easy. To secure victory in these elections, the President had to indebt himself to the very warlords who are strangling the country with their greed...

...looking obstructionist, Republicans are quick to point out that the bulk of the bill - the exchange, which will help small businesses and the 47 million people who are uninsured buy affordable insurance, along with subsidies to help those who can't afford it and new regulations of insurers' practices - wouldn't go into effect until 2013 (this is partly because of the complexity of setting up such a monumental enterprise and partly to help lessen the 10-year cost of the bill). Republicans daydream that Dems could be seen as passing a giant, expensive boondoggle with nothing to show...

...marriage doesn't coincide with significant economic benefits. As research by Zagorsky and others illustrates, it does. A child in a single-parent family, for instance, is five times as likely to live below the poverty line. What Cancian and Reed try to illustrate, though, is that replicating marriage wouldn't necessarily generate more per-person wealth. "There are reasons some people don't get married - they don't have the same options," says Cancian. Marrying someone who is chronically unemployed -or incarcerated - might very well not be an economic step up. (See a gay-wedding video...

...immediately transferred to an immigration detention center where he was held without a release date for two years. Wicked was only released after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a related case that Cambodian Kim Ho Ma could not be held indefinitely while awaiting deportation to a country that wouldn't accept him. For the next year and half, he kept clean, started college and found a new job, until one day the Immigration and Naturalization Service contacted him to fill out some forms. When he left the house, he had no idea that his time in America...
