...system. "It's naive to think that this document won't be faked," Calabrese says. "Folks are already paying $10,000 to sneak into the country. What's a couple thousand more?" In a recent Washington Post op-ed, Schumer and Graham said the card would be "fraud-proof" and that employers would face "stiff fines" and possibly imprisonment if they tried to get around using it. But Cherry half-jokes that someone could falsify such an ID in 15 minutes, and Khosla says that while current technology makes fingerprints the most feasible biometric marker to use, they're also...
...food in a college dorm. At 9:58 p.m. EST, six hungry Adams residents lined up in front of a uniformed guard. And unless you can prove your Adams residency with a recently postmarked letter or a parking ticket (okay, we're kidding about the letters, but proof of residency in Adams is sometimes actually required), don’t expect the guard to budge, and don’t expect to be able to access those oh-so-tasty HUDS cereals...
...House late Sunday will make adjustments to the legislation, such as lowering the impact of an excise tax on high-value insurance plans and stripping out some sweetheart deals like the now infamous cornhusker kickback, using a process known as budget reconciliation.

For their part, Republicans have previously used the simple-majority reconciliation process many times to pass legislation, even as they vilify Senate Democrats for trying to use the same procedure to make changes to the health bill they passed late last year with a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority. House Republicans also used the procedure of "deeming" Senate legislation passed without a direct vote 35 times during the last Republican-controlled Congress. And none of these instances of parliamentary maneuvering ended up as campaign fodder. (See the top 10 players in health care reform...
...country. "No one will attempt a coup d'état while the U.S. is in Iraq," says an al-Maliki aide. "Unless the U.S. is behind it." But with a date set for the end of the American occupation, U.S. influence in Iraq is already waning. Ironically, the best proof of that is the rise, once again, of Ahmad Chalabi. The formerly exiled leader of the Iraqi National Congress - an anti-Saddam dissident group - helped the Pentagon plan the invasion of Iraq and was the candidate of U.S. neoconservatives to be the country's new leader. Chalabi fell out with...
