...person who is interested in only collecting teenagers' tears. At the end of the day, you have to stop singing about cafeterias when you're not sitting at the loser table anymore. But at the same time, the truth is that high school goes on forever in some form or fashion. The workplace is like that, the world of music is like that. And while I'm not sitting here pulling out my gray hairs, I'm a dad, I'm growing up, and that's O.K. There are bands like Green Day that have done it before...
...internationally respected as the incoming, Oxford-educated Prime Minister is, Abhisit helms a coalition that is shaky at best. In order to form a government, the Democrat Party aligned with one of its most vocal critics, Newin Chidchob. An erstwhile ally of ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who now lives in exile after being convicted in absentia on abuse of power charges, Newin has made his reputation as a hard-nosed pork-barrel specialist.

...transitional government has only gotten weaker since it was appointed in 2004 in a bid to bring some form of effective governance to Somalia, which has essentially had no oversight since dictator Mohamed Siad Barre was ousted in 1991.

"We want reform to correct the problems in public education, but we won't accept this one in any form," warned student leader Alix Nicolet, who says students particularly hate Darcos' proposal to reorganize the final years of high school. They are also angry that cost-cutting this year eliminated 11,200 public education jobs and that another 13,500 may go in 2009. "How can the government claim it has no money to continue funding public education when it can come up with billions and billions...
...There are still archaic ideas of homosexuality as a form of gross indecency," said Vidler, who said he has seen cases of discrimination against homosexuals in the work force and housing market. "Hong Kong says it's a world city, but [it] has protocols in place that show it is still a backward country in regard to homosexuals' rights." Hong Kong lacks any non-discriminatory ordinance, and many locals still regard homosexuality with unease. Eric Herrera, a member of a white-collar gay-rights group called Fruits in Suits, which helped organize the parade, said, "I have no problem walking...
