...discrimination,” Kennedy said on Wednesday as he asked for the club’s records to be subpoenaed by the Senate Judiciary Committee. An article in The Washington Times yesterday first drew parallels between CAP and the Owl, but a spokeswoman for Kennedy called the comparison “absurd.” “This social club has zero in common with CAP, an organization designed to promote an agenda that rolled back the clock on equality and justice,” the spokeswoman, Laura Capps, said in an interview on Wednesday night. Capps noted...
...Tuscany, by all means take it and don't ask a lot of questions. But it would be nice if the folks that Wall Street serves made out too-not like bandits, but like the hard-working and trusting investors that most of them are. The gut-wrenching comparison that best illustrates that something may be amiss: in 2005, the average diversified stock fund returned 6.7%; bond investors gained under 1%; the average stock rose just 3%, according to market tracker Lipper.

In the U.S., the culture of confession is now a staple of political life. Bill Clinton's presidency, for example, was perfectly framed between a Sunday night, prime-time appearance with...
...around a watering hole on the Serengeti? We’ll tell you once that drinking fountain gets replaced.One: Pimp our pit-stops. Three words: toilet seat protectors. Widener Library has them. Lamont Library has them. House common bathrooms don’t. We realize this is an unfair comparison. But after wiping the seat down with the Purel by the card-swiper’s desk for the umpteenth time, we figured it might deserve a prominent mention. If we can’t—how shall we say—mate los microorganismos, we might as well...
