The week before the health care vote, The Times reported that births
to Asian, black and Hispanic women accounted for 48 percent of all
births in America in the 12 months ending in July 2008. By 2012, the
next presidential election year, non-Hispanic white births will be in
the minority. The Tea Party movement is virtually all white. The
Republicans haven't had a single African-American in the Senate or the
House since 2003 and have had only three in total since 1935. Their
anxieties about a rapidly changing America are well-grounded.

It was almost illusionist, drawing your attention to something that
isn't important, so that you're not watching what's happening, which
really is important.

Interviewing is really only what you learned to do on a high school

Returning to Israel today, Netanyahu will need to work hard to
rehabilitate his image, knowing full well that Obama will not relent,
but instead demand that he stop zigzagging and decide, once and for
all, whether he stands with America or with the settlers.
