...Obama's shrewdest move, though little noticed at the time, came two weeks ago, when he broadened his long-promised package of tax cuts for individuals to include a larger array of deductions for businesses. These proposed tax cuts and credits take the form of accelerated depreciation schedules for certain investments and complex prior-year tax rollbacks. The surprise proposals set the stage for what is likely to be a bipartisan passage of the stimulus package.

He did get a better sense of the areas of the brain those hormones affect most, owing to the fact that he used a long-running PET scan rather than a shorter session with a functional magnetic resonance imager (fMRI), which is how such studies are usually conducted.

Also, it forces me back to the library after dinner, when all I want to do is curl up and take a nap. The truth is, no one wants to be at Lamont...
...goals, that he never pretended to be anything other than a conservative. It's not his fault, after all, if people forget that he is a theologically conservative Southern Baptist whose concern about issues like abortion and gay marriage has not been displaced by a recent focus on certain progressive causes...
