A husband who beat his teenage bride to death weeks after she arrived from Pakistan in an arranged marriage was convicted of her murder yesterday and jailed for life.
Shazad Khan, 25, whose 19-year-old wife's injuries were worse than any a Home Office pathologist had seen in a 16-year career, will serve a minimum of 15 years before he is eligible for parole.
The prospect of life in Britain held out hope for Khan's young bride Sabia Rani, who had left school at 13 to help with the cooking, cleaning and the raising of her siblings in the village of Palak, in the Mirpur district of Pakistan. She shared a small home there with her grandmother, parents, two brothers and one sister.
She met Khan when he visited Pakistan for a family funeral in December 2002 and they married, but it was not until December 2005 that she arrived in Britain, with no grasp of English and little sense of the lifestyle.
DALLAS - Negotiations to build George W. Bush's presidential library at Southern Methodist University have divided the campus, pitting the administration and some alumni against members of the liberal-leaning faculty who say the project would be an embarrassment to the school.

In Marxist terms, the Middle East is an extreme example of the law of combined and uneven development.
Enclaves of advanced industry sit side by side with social formations that are not only pre-capitalist but to some extent even pre-class.
As in tsarist Russia, the bourgeoisie is weak. But there are few signs of even the most basic forms of working class organisation, either. Saudi Arabia, for instance, is probably the largest country in the world without a single known socialist current, even in exile.
Such is the political vacuum that allowed the radical petty bourgeoisie to lead revolutions, at least from the 1950s to the 1970s. It often followed nationalist agendas and even confronted imperialism, at least to some extent.
Some - like Nasser’s Egypt - resulted in state capitalisms consciously designed to emulate the USSR. But overall, the experience was more Jacobin than Bolshevik.
It is ironic, but undoubtedly true, that the rise of political Islam is at least in part an unintended consequence of the US tactics of sponsoring such currents as a counterweight against communism and progressive nationalism.
The tactic backfired big time. Since the seventies, the two ideological currents it was designed to counter have been exhausted in the Middle East, leaving Islamism free to expand.
Well, we already hit some sort of Iranian consulate somewhere over there.

I read about some Russian billionaire arrested in Switzerland for importing a few dozen Russian prostitutes for a big party he was throwing.
My daughters and a bunch of friends went to some Russian-run bar in DC last weekend. The younger one noted that tall, thin, but unattractive women came downstairs so they could go outside for a smoke. She said, "I don't even want to know what they were doing up there."
Remember during the 2004 campaign when the Bushtards complained that Kerry had insulted our "ally" Iraq?
I can't remember which she-wingnut (Dorothy Rabinowitz, maybe) argued that one of the moments when Kerry lost was when he insulted Al-Allawi, the duly elected leader of our new Democratic ally, Iraq. Condi couldn't pick Allawi out of line up these days, I'd bet.

Some professors have complained that the combined library, museum and think tank would celebrate a presidency that unnecessarily took the country into a war.
The fear is that the library "will continue to espouse the philosophy and practice of the Bush administration, which has seriously divided our nation and has brought the ire of other countries," said William McElvaney, a retired professor at SMU's theology school and co-author a November opinion piece in the campus newspaper titled "The George W. Bush Library: Asset or Albatross?"

Susan Collins term-limited herself. She promised the voters here that if she was elected she would server no more than two terms in the Senate. Guess what, that second term is about to end and I'm holding her to her promise. If someone is stupid enough to make that promise they've got to live with it.

Echoing many of the former comments but Atrios, i do not think this is "high comedy." I like a laugh as well as the next guy but this is terrible. Barney Frank was exercising parliamentary procedure with great restraint I think with this bozo who was way out of line with pressing the point. ii don;t think it is too strong to say that that Roberts Rules of Order and Congress's rules of procedure may be the the last line of defense from the forces of tyranny and intolerance which are being unleashed.
