Barack Obama's foreign policy: The quiet American →
southpol:
That leaves Mr Obama with a burden to shoulder on his own. In the coming weeks he could prove the doubters wrong. He could lead the way towards a brave deal on the climate. He could press Iran to negotiate over its nuclear programme before his own end-of-year deadline—or secure Russian backing for sanctions. He could agree to cut nuclear arms with Russia. He could bully the...

So why does it matter if the Kindle can’t be manufactured in the U.S.?
One reason is importing products like the Kindle will contribute to the U.S. trade deficit. Manufactured goods, especially high tech products, have a high value-add. I suppose we can export soybeans and oranges, but it takes a lot of soybeans and oranges to pay for a Kindle.
But a more substantive cause...

you: dark hair, handsome, silver BMW. You were brazenly and intensely masturbating in your car in the parking garage me: watching you, aroused but too afraid and embarrassed to approach I think you were well endowed. I’m curious if you are a nice guy and I think I want to watch again.

Should America Worry About its Deficit? →
Yes, but how much?
…I suspect they believe that the potential catastrophe scenarios from too much debt—a dollar collapse and rapidly rising interest rates—aren’t much more damaging than the potential catastrophe scenarios from an economy with 10% or more unemployment sustained over several years, and the unemployment catastrophe outcome is far more likely.
And I think that the Paul...

People, I respect all your opinions, and even ones that I don’t agree with are often founded on good logic, at least. However, I’m a little upset with one repetitive admonishment that I keep reading (seems to come from the “We’re upset with you because your performance tarnished the ‘gay reputation’ camp”), that is, that “Not all gay people wear eyeliner and...

2006 Invasion Of Somalia Looking Like A Really Bad Idea.
When Ethiopia invaded Somalia in 2006 with U.S. support, displacing the Islamist government, the Islamic Courts Union, the usual conservative cheering section erupted in applause over the Bush administration’s “toughness” in the war on terror. In fact, the decision was a humanitarian and national security disaster as the...

Matthew, 41 - who bears a haunting resemblance to his father - sank into depression after discovering his identity.

Now Matthew, who was given up for adoption as a baby, has told of his horror at finding out he was the...

Now I’m really hungry for a CJ’s burger. And I’m upset that Irish fans would do something like this.
what is a CJ burger and how does it compare to Five Guys. or better yet, to In and Out?
It’s basically a small meatloaf on a bun. It’s a South Bend standard, and honestly, it’s too much meat for me. But it makes me nostalgic for college.
And ND people?...

Access Hollywood (via UsWeekly) asked Glamberace what he thought about ABC cutting the man-on-peen action out of his performance for the West Coast viewers. Glamberace cried “Discrimination!” He said, “You know honestly, if I offended some people… it’s apples and oranges. I’m not an artist that does things for every single person. I believe in artistic freedom...

What are your thoughts on Anna Quindlen and Maureen Dowd? We can start a club, maybe. -M
I don’t like Dowd and usually skip her column. Quindlen is good but conventional.
Noonan is a nutjob. a friend and I have a peggy noonan impression we do. I loathe Richard Cohen.

Even after correcting for inflation, $1.58 trillion is a record federal budget deficit. But this eye-popping number needs to be seen in context.
A trillion and a half dollar deficit will equal 11.2% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2009, according to CBO estimates. That too is a record for “peacetime” deficits. The Reagan deficits in their worst year reached 6% of GDP. During World...
