...easy to defeat an incumbent President under the best of circumstances, and the Democrats have cause to worry. This particular model Bush is a deft politician with big ideas and with the guts to take risks that can yield great victories. He is also one brazen dude: he traveled last week to Missouri and came very close to using the V word--victory--even though most of Saddam Hussein's inner circle had effectively disappeared and even though no weapons of mass destruction had yet been found and even though U.S.-controlled Iraq remained a chaotic mess (and even though...

My mother's side of the family is even in the sake business. Still, until recently, I never cared much for the stuff. Its strong smell, fiery aftertaste and old-fashioned image seemed about as alluring as my grandfather's hair tonic...
