...grandmother likes to describe herself as Bush's conduit to the woman in the kitchen, who gets her news through the whir of the blender and the toddler scratching for a juice box. References in Bush's speeches to waitresses, Afghan women and Palestinian and Israeli mothers all bear her mark. She has successfully pushed to moderate the President's image, if not his policies, on health care (persuading him to embrace hmo legislation) and the environment, after his rejection of tough arsenic standards and a treaty on global warming.

Some critics may argue that increasing the price of ammunition infringes on Americans’ Second Amendment right to carry and bear arms. But the only consumers whom this tax will really affect economically will be those who are buying bullets in the thousands (and they will only have to pay $50 dollars extra on every 1,000 bullets purchased).

...that English kid,” asking tediously banal questions—just to set the record straight, no I do not know your friend Justin who comes from Sussex and went to the Northwestern summer school program with you—and insisting that I patiently bear their Austin Powers-esque impressions of me. My English friends, meanwhile, need only to hear that the drinking age in America is 21 before they fall about laughing and refuse to discuss anything else for the next, oh, three months of summer vacation. Being pretentious—because English people...
