You keep using that word "handled" ...


A little levity with your morning croissant:

As the world's leaders gathered, the Middle East burst into flames. How President Bush handled the biggest foreign challenge of his second term.

I could only stomach a couple of those Newsweak photos.

It looked more like they were waiting for a pizza and the Condi got on the phone again to ask where it was.

Merkel sure looked relaxed, didn't she? His judgement there was as accurate as ever!

And here I thought the only use I had for that case of motion sickness bags was for distributing popcorn. :)
