You just finished talking with a classmate in the library. You smile. Maybe it was a funny subject or perhaps you were smiling so that he would think you got the joke.

You've probably been holding this awkward pose for...

DER SPIEGEL invited Charles Krauthammer in for an interview and despite biased questions, Krauthammer delivered one of the most thoughtful, undaunted and well presented analyses of the Obama administration (as well as other things) you're going to find. I urge you to read it in its entirety. But, since I know some of you are so on the run and won't do that, I'll print a few excerpts. SPIEGEL: Mr....

Brief excerpt: SPIEGEL: Mr. Krauthammer, did the Nobel Commitee in Oslo honor or doom the Obama presidency by awarding him the Peace Prize? Charles Krauthammer: It is so comical. Absurd. Any prize that goes to Kellogg and Briand, Le Duc Tho and Arafat, and Rigoberta Menchú, and ends up with Obama, tells you all you need to know. For Obama it's not very good because it reaffirms the stereotypes...
