Real Life Politics
The transcript follows. ____________________ Ruth Marcus: Hi everyone. What a long and interesting night. I wrote a column about the experience of reading things on paper versus online -- which makes an online chat an odd way to discuss it, or maybe a fitting one -- but I'm certainly as obsessed with politics as anyone this morning. _______________________ Big Lake, Alaska: After watching the Senate debate the "stimulus package" and how broke the U.S. Citizens are, I would like to know if they (Congress) are willing to give up their raises this year and to forgo the rebate? The ones they gave themselves knowing our economy was going down? Thank you. Ruth Marcus: I'm not certain but I did think there was a move in the Senate to exclude lawmakers from the rebates.

America crazy about breadbox on wheels called Smart car
With gas prices headed squarely past the $3-a-gallon mark again, "Timing couldn't be any better," says Bob Cosmai, a consultant and former CEO of Hyundai Motor America.
The Smart, which will be displayed starting later this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show, isn't new - only new to most of the USA. The original idea hearkens back to the 1970s, but took off after Nicolas Hayek, who founded the Swatch wristwatch line, announced in 1989 that he wanted to bring a newfangled small car to market. The Smart name comes from combining the S from Swatch, the M from Mercedes and ART.
Production of the Smart ForTwo, as the model is known, began in Hambach, France, in 1998. Daimler flirted with the idea of bringing it to the USA from the start. In 2004, the plan was to import the four-passenger sport-utility model.
How Hillary Clinton found her voice.
Jose Canseco claims the Mitchell report is incomplete because it left out Alex Rodriguez. While A-Rod denies using steroids, he did give Bush $2,000. By contrast, Hank Aaron, who played his entire career without an asterisk, has contributed to staunch opponents of Bush like Max Cleland and Hillary Clinton. Two years ago, Bush defended his friend Palmeiro when he tested positive after testifying negative. Last week, Bush sought to deflect attention from friends listed in the Mitchell report: "I think it's best that all of us not jump to any conclusions on individual players named." But the most damning evidence of Bush's complicity in baseball's era of denial is his own role in the trade that helped start it all. In the summer of '92, as it became apparent that his father would lose the White House, Bush was desperate to get the Rangers into the playoffs for the first time in the 30-year history of the franchise.

Jan’s response "The advice from the experts has confirmed the complexities of owning a second property thousands of miles away, despite the attractive prices. But it may be something we revisit in five or six years’ time. "The pensions advice was very valuable. We believed that Jan could not pay into any sort of fund while she was not working. We were also not given the option to consolidate Ben’s additional voluntary contributions, which is certainly something we will look at now.
Overview First Take Specs Compare Images Discuss
The Bravia W-series first debuted way back in 2007. These full-HD LCDs complemented their flagship X-series counterparts, offering comparable hard specs but fell short aesthetics-wise. Nevertheless, the generation-two have definitely addressed this design deficiency with a belated but refreshing makeover. There's more than meets the eye, too. Sony has raised the bar by overhauling the underlying electronics to further boost performance as well as connectivity.
