...Greg's actions over the last two months, moving in and out of the Commerce job and then immediately attacking Administration economic policy, appear to be the workings of a confused mind. His record as a member of the Senate may be unspectacular. However, it says a great deal about the state of the discourse regarding the budget that his observation is one of the few, by a ranking Senator in his party, which mentions the term "bankrupt" to refer to what could become of the American government...
...dinner itself was an unspectacular spread of white wine, white fish, steak and cheesecake. It was followed by President Bush, who rose to offer C-SPAN viewers another reason to doubt political journalists' ability to be anything but cowardly suck-ups to presidential pomp. In recent years, this event has been known mainly for the fantastic performance in 2006 of Stephen Colbert, the Comedy Central host, who addressed the crowd with a withering critique of both the failures of President Bush and the media. "I stand by this man," Colbert had said sarcastically of Bush, at one point. "I stand...
...Kerry has never been far behind.

The meet marked the season debut of standout All-American Lindsey Scherf, who had been sidelined for the first few weeks of the season. Leading the way as usual, Scherf...
...described in superlatives various aspects of the games and their positive effect on Germany in particular. As a TV viewer who witnessed most of the matches, let me protest that, on the whole, the World Cup was one long soporific. In particular the final stages (the knockout rounds) were unspectacular, with long periods of passing the ball back and forth. Unless FIFA takes action to improve the flow of the game-for instance, reducing the number of players to nine or 10-I certainly will not be among those who view the next series in 2010.
