Getting Past ‘Oh!’: Why Americans Misunderestimate the Depravity ...
Most Americans have long ago now reached two conclusions about their government. First, that George W. Bush is an incompetent president with, additionally, a temperament ill-suited to the job. And second, that his grand project - the invasion of Iraq - was a major mistake. Both these conclusions are absolutely incorrect. But only by omission. They are, in fact, quite accurate as far as they go - it's just that they don't go nearly far enough. Bush is incompetent and Iraq is likely the greatest foreign policy blunder in two-plus centuries of American history. But to say that - and particularly to say that alone - does not truly do justice to either disaster, Bush or his war. The truth about this president and his motives for war are far, far uglier than the words ‘incompetence' or ‘mistake' imply.

Time running short to act on strategies
With last week's ice storm creating a cleanup mess for many individuals and businesses, trying to get ready for the holiday -- much less contemplating tax strategies -- seems like a futile exercise.
Nonetheless, life goes on and the tax man beckons.
We recently provided last-minute, tax-saving tips for individuals, and now we want to give small businesses some equal time.
Here are a few suggestions that employers can put in place for the 2007 tax year.
Set up a profit-sharing plan.
This is a type of retirement plan that is funded solely by the company.
Generally, it's a popular retirement tool for employers that have had a profitable year. To take advantage of the tax benefits, small businesses must set up a profit-sharing plan before the end of the year, but they don't have to fund it until they file the tax return, said Paul Muret, of Muret CPA PLLC.
Former Milwaukee Police Officer Deported
I enjoyed my time here and I have no regrets," he said. He said being a police officer was his dream job. "I love this country," he said Saturday. "I love everything it has to offer." Ayala-Cornejo's family moved to the U.S. from Guadalajara in 1992. He will be staying with relatives who remained behind.

He said he would have had to go back to Mexico when he became an adult to wait years before becoming a citizen, and his father did not want to separate the family.
Stock Upgrades, Downgrades From TheStreet.com Ratings
Men's Wearhouse had been rated buy since January 2006. Zumiez (ZUMZ - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), an outdoor apparel maker, has been downgraded to sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in several areas, including its generally disappointing historical performance of the stock itself, unsatisfactory return on equity and weak operating cash flow. Zumiez's share price has slipped 34.69% from a year ago. Investors have so far failed to pay much attention to the earnings improvements the company has managed to achieve over the last quarter. Although its share price is down sharply from a year ago, investors should not assume that it can now be tagged as cheap and attractive. The reality is that, based on its current price in relation to its earnings, Zumiez is still more expensive than most of the other companies in its industry.
STEVE & LYNELLE: Problems lead to gun incident
A week later, he said, "Maybe we can be together some day." Things started getting better. I got help and went back on my medication. Then, all of a sudden, he's been canceling our dates to go hang out with his friend and his friend's girlfriend then acts like I'm crazy when I feel hurt. I've explained to him that it hurts my feelings, and he responds by saying, well let's go do "X." It's as if he only hangs out with me when he has nothing better to do. What should I do? .
