Opinions change in Washington. Before the National Rifle Association loved John McCain — it favored McCain with its endorsement Thursday — it had some very sharp disagreements with the Arizona Senator. In 2000, McCain said of the gun lobby, "I don't think they help the Republican Party at all." A year later, the NRA shot back by calling McCain "one of the premier flag carriers for the enemies of the...

The New Icelandic Saga appears to herald the Twilight of the Banks, bringing immediate freezing of the collective finances, including those of British local authorities.

When the first series of Blackadder (or "The Black Adder" as it was then known) was aired in the early 1980s, I doubt that anyone - creators, audience or critics - would have put much money on the idea that, 25 years hence, a channel would dedicate two whole hours of scheduling to that little show. But a lot can happen between series, (especially when there's a three year gap) and when Blackadder...

I don't know what policies Jo stood for in this election and have been following this as an interested party - noticably to see if OUSA would predictably close ranks...
