At age 72, my mother, Margot, should be enjoying her "golden" years. After all, she worked most of her life, raised four kids and survived three divorces. Mom's due a little rest and relaxation. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/highestratedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/realclearpolitics/living_the_dream realclearpolitics/20080509/living_the_dream RealClearPolitics.com Fri, 09 May 2008 02:45:01 GMT RealClearPolitics.com - Largely on the basis of George Stephanopoulos' sources, ABC is reporting intermediaries from the Obama and Clinton campaigns are discussing the formation of a dream ticket with Hillary as veep. While the logic of trying to assuage Clinton's base and unify the party is understandable, I've never understood how or why people think this would work. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/highestratedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/regimesparanoiaworsenscyclonetragedyinburma usatoday/20080509/regimesparanoiaworsenscyclonetragedyinburma USATODAY.com Fri, 09 May 2008 04:23:00 GMT USATODAY.com - Since 2005, Hurricane Katrina has been shorthand for government incompetence in managing the aftermath of a devastating storm. But in the Southeast Asian nation of Burma, struck by a similar storm last weekend, even a Katrina-style response would, sadly, pass as a miracle of efficiency. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/highestratedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucrr/whatevertheysayitsthemoney ucrr/20080509/whatevertheysayitsthemoney Richard Reeves Fri, 09 May 2008 23:58:08 GMT Richard Reeves - WASHINGTON -- When they say, "It's not the money ..." -- it's the money! http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/highestratedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/realclearpolitics/the_law_of_intended_consequenc realclearpolitics/20080509/the_law_of_intended_consequenc RealClearPolitics.com Fri, 09 May 2008 03:30:00 GMT RealClearPolitics.com - In recent weeks, Congress has been furiously backtracking on ethanol, with Democrats considering legislation that would freeze ethanol subsidies and mandates at their current level, while Republicans are talking about rolling back the whole system. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/highestratedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/realclearpolitics/clinton_fights_for_her_life realclearpolitics/20080509/clinton_fights_for_her_life RealClearPolitics.com Fri, 09 May 2008 02:30:39 GMT RealClearPolitics.com - Hillary Clinton's biggest problem right now isn't her lack of money, and it isn't that undecided superdelegates will suddenly move against her. Indeed, yesterday was notable for the fact that so few superdelegates declared, and that multiple Democratic party bigwigs went public saying Hillary has every right to stay in the race and shouldn't necessarily get out just yet. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/highestratedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucgg/cyclonenargismaybringchangeinitsdestructivewake ucgg/20080508/cyclonenargismaybringchangeinitsdestructivewake Georgie Anne Geyer Thu, 08 May 2008 23:57:55 GMT Georgie Anne Geyer - WASHINGTON -- One can only wonder how a country like Myanmar -- historically known as Burma -- can bear all the miseries being heaped upon it. On top of the savage military dictatorship that has ruled it since 1990 comes Cyclone Nargis, another of those destructive Southeast Asian storms, killing perhaps as many as 100,000 people. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/highestratedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucmg/americansgrossnationalhappiness ucmg/20080508/americansgrossnationalhappiness Maggie Gallagher Thu, 08 May 2008 15:10:22 GMT Maggie Gallagher - You'd never guess it listening to Obama or Hillary talk, but Americans are among the happiest people on Earth. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/highestratedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/ydershowitz csm/20080508/ydershowitz The Christian Science Monitor Thu, 08 May 2008 08:00:00 GMT The Christian Science Monitor - As Israel celebrates 60 years of nationhood this Thursday, and looks ahead to the next 60 years, the world should appreciate what the Jewish state has accomplished. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/highestratedop/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/notjustanywoman usatoday/20080508/notjustanywoman USATODAY.com Thu, 08 May 2008 04:17:00 GMT USATODAY.com - Women.
