But this understanding of the president’s role is hardly unique ...

Now the party of “drill, baby, drill” — the folks who warn that Obama’...

She was 42.Dowd spent years battling the disease that had spread to her bones, liver, and brain. She also spent years waiting to see her young daughter play in an LPGA event. Her wish came true last spring. "I'm prouder today than I was yesterday that my daughter has the courage and strength to play with these LPGA professionals," Dowd said after the Ginn Clubs & Resorts LPGA tournament. "And I feel great right now. I feel great. My dream came true out here." Dowd, former Hooters Calendar Cover Girl and the only woman to climb the restaurant's corporate ladder from waitress to general manager, chose to go publi...

In fact, he did what he did because he wanted to do it and gave whatever excuse he thought would work that moment. He really had no clue that sane people keep track of these things.It's been clear for a long, long time that whatever reason exists in George Bush's mind for the war - if any mind or reason exists in any commonly understood sense - it probably isn't one of his utterly disposable excuses.I stopped keeping score long ago, so I hadn't realized how very damming the sum of his lies had become. But it is truly damning, and indicative of someone utterly i...

Perhaps they have realized that source is only useful in a geothermal sense.Time Magazine has always been center - right with an reflex toward c...
