  • like that tv show or otherScott Walker
    distanced     himself this weekend from Mitt Romney’s assertion
    that Walker’s victory Tuesday meant Americans didn’t want to hire
    more teachers, firefighters and cops. “I think it’s slightly
    different. I think in our case what they wanted was people who are
    willing to take on the tough issues, not only here in Wisconsin but
    across the country,” Walker said on CBS’ Face the
    Nation.
  • Kevin Iraniha, an American studying in Costa Rica, was forced
    to
    walk back     into the United States because his name is on a
    no-fly list. “Basically, he was told he could not fly,” his brother
    said. “They didn’t give him any information”. Perhaps the no-fly
    list ought to be handled on terror Tuesdays like the kill list?

    interferences [such as over-commercialization and its resulting
    restrictions and limitation] I filed and paid my taxes. This only
    stopped when it was necessary to withdraw from society, in order to
    guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family,” she
    wrote.

    lend     100 billion euros to banks in Spain in a bid to
    prevent the country from becoming the next Portugal Italy Greece. “The issue,
    however, is there is still a lack of detail about where the money’s
    coming from, which is crucial. The market will treat it with some
    caution until they see how it will be funded,”
    said     Edmund Shing, European head of equity strategy at
    Barclay’s.
  • The commerce secetary John Bryson was
    involved     in a felony hit and run over the weekend, according to

    Buick and then hit it again as he drove off.
