recognized that Utah and Nevada should be united against the arrogance of the East Coast dumping its waste on the West.

President Bush must accept that he has to change course, reject the notion of an open-ended commitment in Iraq, and finally develop the plan that allows our troops to begin to come home.

Francis Fukuyama

President Bush has made some statements suggesting the US would accept whatever democratic outcome comes. Should the US be willing to do that, it suggests a major change in their position. But I think it is a little premature to assume that any real decision has been made. I think what they -- in the US administration -- are hoping for is a more gradual reform process in the Arab world, a more gradual expansion of political participation which Islamist groups do not use as an opportunity to come to power. So while I think there has been a shift in the US Middle East policy we will all have to wait to see how great that shift has been.

Part of why Tony is so hard to tackle is that he's a big guy and you don't know what to expect. Sometimes he'll make a move and go by you or sometimes he'll try to run you over. As a defender, he keeps you guessing. I guess I have to accept being run over sometimes.

Carol Thorp

Refiners are selling off all supplies of winter grade fuel in advance of next Tuesday's deadline. That has put extra supply on the market, sending prices lower.

Bill Bryson

And before long there will be no more milk in bottles delivered to the doorstep or sleepy rural pubs, and the countryside will be mostly shopping centers and theme parks. Forgive me.
