Hot damn! I am very excited today. A book, America and the World: Conversations on the Future of American Foreign Policy that I was very involved in helping to hatch made it to Michiko Kakutani's top 10 list for books from 2008. And to top off a great day, my colleague and friend Steve Coll's The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in the American Century also made the cut. Some of you have previously read ...

That makes no sense whatsoever. Ah, here we go: IDIOM: cockles of (one's) heart One's innermost feelings: ...

One quite senior national security personality close to Obama told me that "I hate this. I ...

These fold-it-yourself cat playhouses from suckUK are made from grade-A cardboard and there is no way in hell my cats could fit through that little hole in the top without utterly destroying the thing.
