WASHINGTON, D.C. – New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says his record in the Garden State is evidence that divided government doesn’t have to mean gridlock, when leaders make the right “tough choices.”
At a biannual dinner of Washington’s libertarian Cato Institute Friday night, Christie told the crowd it was the duty of lawmakers to tell the truth about the nation’s economic problems, or risk lengthening the fiscal fallout.
“When you’re looking for love in this job, that’s when deficits get run up Windows 7 serial key,” Christie said. “When you’re looking for love in this job, it’s because you can’t say no to anything because someone somewhere won’t love you if you do.”
Christie said he was “not looking to be loved” in his state, recounting his administration’s cuts to veterans’ programs, education, and public employee benefits; examples of so called “third-rails” in politics. The Republican called the slashed budgets “common sense reforms, but tough ones.”
“They said this was going to be impossible to do but we did it,” he continued, “And we did it because we went out to the public and we told them why it was so important.”
Christie boasted his budget plans eventually drew the support of his democratic-controlled state legislature, including its leadership.
“Don’t tell me the American people are not ready to hear the truth. They know our government’s out of control, they know our debt and our deficits are out of control. And don’t confuse them liking the solution with accepting it.”
Christie said when presented with the facts, voters “know in their heart” to accept the right solution.
According to Christie Windows 7 Activation Key, his administration is set to return $132 billion in budget savings over 30 years, while delivering the first income tax break for New Jersey residents in over a decade.
Friday’s event dovetails with speculation that Christie could enter the presidential race as a potential running mate for the presumptive Republican nominee, Mitt Romney.
For months, the Republican governor had denied calls to enter the GOP primaries, from supporters hoping to draw on his reputation as an outspoken and frank personality.
Christie repeatedly assured speculators he intended to fulfill the rest of his term, set to end in 2014. But in the last few weeks he’s confessed he was open to the VP slot; most recently on Monday he told a New Jersey high school class that Romney “might be able to convince me,” to share a ticket. Romney, Christie continued, is a “convincing guy.”
The governor officially endorsed Romney in October and has campaigned with him across multiple states. Christie did not mention the upcoming election during his speech Windows 7 serial key, and only commented on President Obama briefly.
“I remember Barack Obama talking about the lack of hope and optimism around the country in 2008,” he said. “The environment I found myself in, in 2009, was not significantly different. Although he and I find the solutions to that problem in entirely different ways.”
The Cato Institute is a think tank focused on individual liberties and free-market economics. The organization’s gala gathering that night was to award a Chinese activist, Mao Yushi, with their Milton Friedman Prize for his work advocating a Western-style economy in Beijing.
While the governor’s keynote address stayed predominantly on national issues, he did venture into broad foreign policy spurts during his roughly 40 minutes behind the podium. Christie said domestic “political sideshows” threatened to deteriorate America’s standing abroad.
“There’s no better way to prescribe other societies around the world to become more democratic and more market oriented than to show that our democracy, and our markets, work better than any other system,” he said.

Immediately after its gates swung open in June 2009 replica watches, the High Line became one of America’s favorite urban parks. But a recent survey by Travel & Leisure shows that its popularity has gone truly global, ranking it #10 on a list of the world’s most popular landmarks.
The High Line is a linear park built atop an abandoned freight rail line that floats 30 feet above street level and it offers some of the most surprising — and stunning —
views of Manhattan. But there’s another aspect of this extraordinary place that visitors love: the High Line tells a story. Block by block it meanders past former factories, warehouses and tenements; passes by old Indian trails and Astor family farmland; threads its way between church, prison, and school. Along the way it offers up new views of historic piers and railroad terminals, famous skyscrapers and new architectural gems that are redefining New York’s ever-changing skyline.
Today this “park in the sky” is Manhattan’s grandest parapet, and from north to south, east to west, it puts the city and its long, colorful history on stage. There are, it was famously, said, “eight million stories in the Naked City.” Following are a just a few that can be found along the High Line. For many more see my book On the High Line: Exploring America’s Most Original Urban Park, with a Preface by Rick Darke.
Bright Lights, Big City
Photo by Scott Mlyn The High Line after dark offers awe-inspiring glimpses of the spires atop three buildings completed in the 21st century, each of which has a story. The 1,000-foot mast of the New York Times headquarters contains radiometers that gather and transmit solar data to a computer system which controls the positioning of the window shades throughout the building. Bank of America Tower, decreed the greenest building in Manhattan, has an ornamental spire with 368 LED floodlights that constantly change color. Its neighbor the Conde Nast building has been recognized for its use of solar and fuel-cell technology; its 300-foot mast is used to support TV and radio broadcasters, and it too features colored lights. Every night these buildings join together in a sensational light show.
A Work in Progress
Photo by Rick Darke There are 100,000 perennials and grasses on the High Line, but unlike many gardens, the plants are not deadheaded in the fall. An essential aspect of Piet Oudolf’s planting design is the presence of seed heads in winter replica watches, and these dried replica watches, multi-form structures play an important role in the distinctive High Line landscape. The untouched plants also provide food and habitat for wildlife throughout the winter. But this means a big job for the gardening staff each spring, when all the spent flowers must be cut back to make room for new growth. Dozens of volunteers join the annual Spring Cutback, generating tons of compost that is donated to community gardens in the area or transported to the Fresh Kills Compost Site on Staten Island.
Hallowed Ground
Photo by Annik La Farge Between 29th – 30th Streets sits one of the largest mail-processing facilities in the country. You can see the outlines of the bricked-up freight entrance in the northwest corner, where as many as 8,000 mail trains a year passed into the Morgan General Mail Facility after traveling down the High Line and across Tenth Avenue on a special "spur." But this place wasn’t always devoted to mail; in the 19th century one of Manhattan’s first railway stations stood here, operated the Hudson River Railroad. The first passenger to use the station was Abraham Lincoln, on his way to Washington, DC for his inauguration as President. Four years later, on April 25, 1865, Lincoln’s funeral train passed through on its westward journey to Springfield, Illinois.
The Unlucky Pier
photo by Scott Mlyn The High Line runs parallel to the Hudson River, for centuries America’s grandest gateway. The stately, rusting arch of Pier 54 recalls the glory days of transatlantic luxury liners steaming into New York harbor, greeted by ebullient, cheering crowds. But that was not the scene on April 18, 1912, when Cunard’s liner Carpathia docked at Pier 54 to drop off survivors of the RMS Titanic, which had been expected at the White Star Line’s Pier 59 (today the driving range of the Chelsea Piers golf club). In May 1915, the Lusitania departed from Pier 54 on its way to Liverpool; seven days later it was torpedoed by a German U-boat, an event that mobilized public opinion in support of the United States’ entry into World War I.
Smoking on the High Line
photo by Scott Mlyn The Spears Building was built in 1888 by the Kinney Tobacco Company, part of the giant American Tobacco Company which, until it was broken up by antitrust laws, controlled more than ninety percent of the American market. In 1892 a five-alarm fire gutted the entire factory and reportedly destroyed forty million cigarettes. The headline in the Times intoned: "One Fiend Beats Another." In 1931 the eastern part of the factory was demolished to make way for the High Line; the windows behind the park’s "seating steps" are the former loading docks that connected the building – which in later years became a furniture factory – to the railroad. Today the building is a condominium.
The Traffic Show
Photo by Scott Mlyn Traffic has always been an event in New York, but bad as it is today, it’s hard to imagine the pandemonium of the 19th century. In 1879 the Times described a particularly gnarly jam that included "four-horse teams, hacks, coupes, trucks, drays, butcher carts, passenger stages…grocers’ and hucksters’ wagons [and] two-wheeled ‘dog carts.’" On the West Side, to make matters worse, freight trains ran at grade along the street. A man on horseback – the "Tenth Avenue Cowboy" – preceded each locomotive, warning pedestrians with a red flag by day and a red lantern by night. Still, so many people were killed in the chaos that Tenth Avenue became known as Death Avenue. The High Line pays tribute to New York’s traffic obsession with an outdoor amphitheatre that permits visitors to sit and endlessly watch the traffic as it rumbles up the former Death Avenue toward midtown.
The Shapeshifting City
photo by Rick Darke In 1856 a writer for Harper’s Monthly lamented that "New York is never the same city for a dozen years together. A man born in New York forty years ago finds nothing, absolutely nothing, of the New York he knew." The High Line is the perfect perch from which to observe the city’s ever-changing skyscape. Pictured here is Frank Gehry’s stunning IAC headquarters, also known as "the sail building." If you walk around it you’ll find that the building is like a piece of sculpture that rewards every vantage point with a delightful new form. It makes the perfect answer to the unhappy Harper’s man.
The Falcon and the DEA Man
The High Line attracts tons of wildlife, from bugs and crickets to butterflies and bees. But birds play the greatest role in its story. The Hudson River is a major migratory corridor and some 300 species – songbirds, raptors, waterfowl, shorebirds – pass overhead each year. One reason the abandoned rail line became such a bountiful wild garden is because birds carried seeds here from all over the country, both on their feathers and in their droppings. In his plan for the High Line landscape designer Piet Oudolf included many of the prairie grasses and perennials that first came here courtesy of birds. Today you can spot countless birds in the park, but if you get lucky you might catch the magnificent peregrine falcon that has made the Drug Enforcement Agency building at 16th Street its unofficial home (center image).

Landscape of Steel & Flowers
Photo by Rick Darke During remediation of the old rail bed and construction of the High Line park all the original rail ties placed here by the New York Central Railroad in the early 1930s were removed and tagged. Many were later replaced in their original locations, to evoke the park’s history as a working railroad. Rick Darke’s 2005 photograph of the wild High Line shows how the "steel rails provide the landscape’s organizing motif as they run through a spontaneous garden of low grasses, chives, and dwarf bearded iris."

Erick Martínez Ávila, a 32-year old Honduran journalist and gay rights activist, was found dead and dumped in a ditch in Guasculile on 7 May 2012. His killers strangled him, and in doing so, brought the total number of journalists murdered in Honduras since 2007 to twenty-seven.
Martínez was a well-known spokesman for the lesbian and gay rights group Kuculnan and was politically active in Libertad y Refundación, the party of Manuel Zelaya, the former Honduran president who was deposed by a military coup in 2009.
The motive for Martínez’ killing is unknown. But as a journalist critical of the current Honduran government, and as a Zelaya-supporter, Martínez was doubly vulnerable in a country where the rate of attacks on members of the press and the political opposition is accelerating. He is the seventeenth journalist to be murdered in Honduras in the last two years. Many more have suffered beatings and death threats Shader Tattoo Machine, with government officials – including the army and the police – regularly implicated in these attacks.
As recently as 25 April 2012, unidentified gunmen shot and killed another journalist The Best Tattoo Machines, Noel Alexander Valladares, as he drove away from the studios of Maya TV in the capital, Tegucigalpa. On 8 September 2011, in a similar attack, gunmen killed 62-year old, pro-Zelaya radio journalist Menardo Flores.
The coup of 2009 produced an illegal regime that ruled by force, suppressed opposition and censored the press. It was eventually succeeded in 2010 by President Porfirio Lobo Sosa’s government – still unrecognized by some countries – which immediately offered an amnesty to all those involved in the coup.
But little has changed on the ground, at least in terms of the violence. Journalists such as Flores and Martínez, who still seek to expose those implicated in the coup or who merely have ties to Zelaya, can at the very least expect a death threat.
So too can the newspapers and broadcasters that focus on police corruption, secrecy in the public administration, or criticism of current large-scale privatization projects.
On 6 December 2011, Luz Marina Paz Villalobos, a reporter for the radio news station Cadena Hondureña de Noticias, was shot to death while travelling in a car belonging to a member of the armed forces. The previous day, in an unrelated incident, armed men fired shots at the offices of the daily newspaper La Tribuna, seriously wounding a security guard. According to the newspaper’s editor, attacks on La Tribuna staff are a regular occurrence.
Unsurprisingly, self-censorship in the press is a growing trend.
As a signatory to the American Convention of Human Rights, Honduras is obliged to protect its citizens’ right to free expression. At its most recent Universal Periodic Review (November 2010), Honduras committed itself to defending this right and pledged to investigate attacks on journalists and other media workers.
However, 18 months later Top Tattoo Inks, even President Lobo recognizes that Honduras is failing in this regard, with very few assaults or murders investigated properly.
Lobo publicly acknowledged this in November 2011. He also called for a ‘review’ of free expression and, tellingly, made a distinction between ‘libertad de expresión [y la] defensa de los intereses particulares’ (freedom of expression and the defence of special interests).
Exactly what he meant by this isn’t clear, but it gives little reason for hope: leaders who make this kind of distinction too often end up trying to deny opposition opinion its voice, as if citing the ’special interests’ of an opponent were justification enough for exempting them from the protection guaranteed by a state’s legal commitment to free expression.

The Republican National Committee today posted a video titled “A Tale of Two Leaders,” which attempts to contrast Mitt Romney’s general election kickoff speech last night with President Obama participating in Jimmy Fallon’s “Slowjammin’ the news” bit on that TV show.
The RNC also suggests the new hash tag — #NotFunny.
You’ll see more of this as the RNC and Romney campaign make efforts to use the president’s “coolness” and likeability as a weapon against him. The basic thinking is that Romney will never be cooler Tattoo Gun For Sale, and may not ever be considered more likeable Tattoo Kits Tattoo Kits, than the president Rotary Machine Tattoo, so Republicans will argue this election isn’t about fun on Jimmy Fallon – it’s about competence and jobs.
The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza has a post today looking at this issue.

Let’s say you’re an alien. (Not the illegal kind who we hate and fear — the extraterrestrial kind who only want to eat and/or enslave us).
Between eating and/or enslaving, you want a few laughs. “Hey,” you say in your impenetrable yet vaguely Eastern European tongue, “why not take in a flick?”
You make your way to the old abandoned (as of a couple days ago, when you landed) movie theater, picking your way past the rotting corpses of those too thin or weak to eat/enslave, and an example of Contemporary Comedy is playing on the screen.
You watch with interest then, on your way out, meet a young guy, trembling with terror. “That was hilarious!” you say. “It’s amazing that on both our planets, physical comedy consists primarily of men getting hit in the balls.” The kid nods nervously. To put him at his ease you say “Okay, who’s for dinner?”
The fascinating thing about this story (other than the question of who’s running the projector) (but, y’know, it’s all automated nowadays, right?) is that there was once a time when 90 percent of all movie and TV comedy didn’t consist of testicle-impacts.
Yes, the body being smashed, stretched, folded, spindled, and mutilated is funny. But why? What is it about the seemingly endless, frequently painful mutability of the human body that makes us laugh?
The answer can be found in my very own “Funny: The Book / Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Comedy”, now available wherever fine books are sold. (Also available where, quite frankly Buy Herve leger strapless, some pretty sucky books are sold.) But, secular saint that I am, I shall reveal it to you here for free…
We’re animals.
Do you object to that characterization? As Hugh Hefner said, the alternatives are minerals and vegetables.
We like to think we’re the most evolved — intelligent, moral, good-looking — life-form on the planet. So when we’re reminded that we’re just upright apes with opposable thumbs, the contrast between our self-image and the gross reality is funny.
When things emerge unbidden from our bodies — pretty much any orifice — or when we lose control, like an animal, it’s shocking… and funny. To quote the original Saturday Night Live’s Roseanne Roseannadanna: “Did that come outta me?”
We don’t like to be reminded of what we are underneath and nothing reminds us more thoroughly than being unable to suppress our animal urges, meaning every kind of -cation from defe- to forni-.
Let’s examine a few of the ways our bodies are hilarious…
Extreme Postures
In the movie All of Me, Steve Martin’s a lawyer and Lily Tomlin his dying rich client who’s hired a mystic named Prakha Lasa to take her soul and transfer it into a beautiful young woman’s body.
Within that scene of fantasy is a grounded truth; that our bodies sometimes have minds of their own.
Ejaculations
Here’s a famous sketch from Monty Python’s Meaning of Life.
That scene could be viewed as a critique of materialism, with the expensive foods going in contrasted with what comes out; the idea that everything we eat and own ultimately turns into crap. (Yes Marc Jacobs Dresses sale, that last sentence was Marxist. Go ahead, report me.)
But for our purposes, it’s just the lovable old body being incredibly gross.
Both South Park and Superbad invented a new comedy trope of guys puking on girls; in fact, the frequent use of vomit in modern comedy makes it seem like a new version of the silent comedy pie fight.
But despite our delight/repulsion at the noise and fluids and mess, what really makes vomiting funny is seeing humans brought down from their cocky exceptionalism (“Man Rules!”) to their true animal state (“Man drools, then pukes”).
Of course, there’s another kind of ejaculation. In Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb, Peter Sellers is Capt. Mandrake, a British officer on an American Air Force base which is under attack, while its commanding officer, the insane Gen. Jack D. Ripper, shares with Mandrake a theory.
The basis of that famous monologue was the fluoridation battles of the 1950’s, when many considered it a Communist plot. (A not inconsiderable minority believe that today.)
But the humor goes beyond that time-sensitive reference. Ripper has a narcissistic paranoia about his body and its violation, to the point where he feels that ejaculation is a form of theft, maybe even rape, and that to be a man is to not let anyone have anything that’s yours, including sperm.
This is not a sentiment shared by Jason Biggs in American Pie. And we mustn’t forget There’s Something About Mary, which raised/lowered the bar when it came out, and is pretty extreme even now. Here’s Ben Stiller in a romantic mood.
Gross, right? But why? Why should semen be seen as disgusting?
Because of where it comes from and why it comes out; it’s the perfect — and perfectly embarrassing — example of our basic animal nature.
And now to a more innocent form of ejaculation, a classic scene I’ve had for awhile but have been holding in to let it loose at just the right moment: “Blazing Saddles”.
So why are farts funny? Let me count the ways: makes us seem like animals, the body acting on its own, anti-social behavior, where it comes from, bad smell, funny noise. Obviously, there are some times when some ejaculations aren’t funny, or else we’d all be guffawing our way through porn. But, in this case, context is irrelevant: farts are always funny.
Nudity
You could say that we’re never more like animals than when we’re naked: that’s when our brains, our hearts, our souls, tend to matter less than our breasts and pecs.
Nudity can be sexy, of course, but it can also be funny: Old School.
The incongruity of Will Ferrell’s shamelessness, his lack of vanity in showing his out-of-shape, less-than-ideal body is what makes it funny, along with our recognition of bodily kinship. (Any supermodels reading this can skip that last part.)
But it’s also because the scene thrusts the silliness, the grossness of the human body — the one all of us have, even if for the moment ours may be in better shape than Ferrell’s — right into our unwilling faces.
Nudity can be funny where there’s no dialogue: Monty Python’s Life of Brian: Brian. And it can be funny when the dialogue isn’t: Monty Python’s Life of Brian: Judith.
Both of those scenes get laughs from incongruity, but what are those incongruities? (Take your time, think about it carefully… ) (Time’s up!)
Brian’s naked where it’s inappropriate, which mortifies him; Judith’s naked where it’s inappropriate, and doesn’t care. Each scene is funny for the opposite reason.
The truth is, humans find the fact that we’re both human and animal to be a constant source of embarrassment. And that’s why the absolute funniest thing in the world is someone farting and puking while naked.

A sinkhole in Guatamala Tattoo Supplies
A sinkhole, 65 feet across and 100 feet deep, swallowed up a small factory and some telephone poles in Guatemala City last weekend. Police have been stationed around the hole to prevent bystanders from falling in, and those who live nearby are staying elsewhere for the time being. How do you fill a massive sinkhole in the middle of a major urban area?
With cement or rocks. Sinkholes develop when water flows through pores in bedrock and gradually enlarges them. When these subterranean cavities get big enough, the ground above collapses and fills them in. Guatemala City’s last major crater, which opened in 2007, dropped three houses 330 feet below the city’s streets. The government spent $2.7 million redirecting sewer pipes around the area and filling the hole with cement. This week’s sinkhole will probably be filled the same way.
Advertisement
It’s not clear whether cement is the best option, however. A 6,500-cubic-foot wad of concrete may serve to concentrate water runoff in other areas, leading to more sinkholes. Many engineers prefer the graded-filter technique, in which the hole is filled with a layer of boulders, then a layer of smaller rocks, and, finally, a layer of gravel. This fills the hole, more or less, while permitting water to drain through the area.
No matter what is used to fill the crater, more sinkholes are on the way. Guatemala City’s location and leaky sewage system make it particularly prone to these events. The capital lies downhill from seven major volcanoes, two of which are active members of the Pacific Ring of Fire. For hundreds of thousands of years, the gargantuan Amatitlan Caldera dumped volcanic ash on the ground where the city now sits. As a result, the local bedrock consists mostly of loose volcanic pumice. (Many cities sit atop volcanic deposits, but the ash from Amatitlan has not had the time or the appropriate pressure and temperature conditions to compress into a solid, reliable foundation.)
Large sinkholes sometimes open up in North America, too. While the process is similar, the geology is different. The most sinkhole-prone parts of the U.S. consist of limestone and dolomite bedrock rather than volcanic ash. The easily-eroded materials are responsible for natural wonders like New Mexico’s Carlsbad Caverns, but they can also lead to a terrific collapse. Florida and Kentucky are the most vulnerable states. In 1994, a 15-story-deep sinkhole opened near Mulberry, Fla.
Cover-collapse sinkholes—the dramatic and instantaneous events that swallow up unsuspecting victims—are relatively rare. Most sinkholes happen slowly over time, and bottom out at a foot or two. As the bedrock erodes, the ground begins to subside at an imperceptible rate. When the soil finally lowers to the level of the groundwater, there is a small Tattoo Supplies, visible drop.

2011 Suzuki Swift – Click above for image gallery
You know the old conundrum, “Fast car slow or slow car fast?” If you’ve never heard it before, it’s a bit of automotive philosophy that asks on a given road, would you rather drive a Lamborghini Murcielago at five-tenths, or a 1982 Honda Prelude until the wheel-bearings shatter? And really Buy Herve Leger v neck, like the sound of one hand clapping, there is no answer. That said, the new 2011 Suzuki Swift is one slow car all of us would love to drive fast.

A 1.2-liter gas engine replaces the 1.3-liter from the previous Swift, but the new mill includes variable-valve technology, so while displacement is down, power is up — 92 horsepower and 87 pound-feet of torque. True Missoni Dresses sale, that’s barely enough oomph to get make it up the AMG staircase, but consider the Swift weighs half as much as most cars (the current car is just under one ton) and comes standard with a manual (automatic’s an option). Sounds better now, no?
While the exterior hasn’t changed much, the Swift’s suit appears a bit more tailored. The big news is the interior which has borrowed some dressy Discount DKNY Dresses, ritzed-up cues from its big brother Kizashi. Will the Swift come to our big-car loving shores? The answer is probably not, even though the Swift should get about 45 mpg and sticker under $10 Replica BCBG Dresses,000. However Buy Herve Leger v neck, Suzuki does need products, and there will be a 1.6-liter Swift Sport coming soon Replica Herve Leger gown, so who knows?

A jailhouse manuscript penned by Victoria’s worst serial killer should never be allowed to be published, a victims of crime support group says.
Seven-time murderer Paul Steven Haigh lays blame on some of his victims for their deaths in his book The House of the Blue Light Buy Bandage dresses, which contains a harrowing account of how he killed two of his victims.
Crime Victims Support Association president Noel McNamara said the book should never be published.
“It’s just showing a complete disrespect and disregard of victims Christian Audigier Clothing sale,” Mr McNamara said on Tuesday.
Mr McNamara said if the book was ever released, it would add to the grief felt by families dealing with the traumatic murder of a loved one.
“When you’ve got cold-blooded killers writing their thoughts, it just leaves a very nasty taste in your mouth,” he said.
“As far as I know, there’s no laws about cold-blooded killers saying what they like, which is pretty disgusting.
“That shouldn’t be allowed to happen. Something’s got to be done.”
In the book, Haigh gives a harrowing account of how he killed Sheryle Gardner and her nine-year-old son Danny Mitchell in 1979 DKNY Clothing sale, News Ltd has reported.
“I shot the mother first. Then, while consoling the boy Cheap Marc Jacobs Dresses, I shot him with the second gun when his back was turned to me Buy Christian Audigier Clothing,” he writes.
He writes that some of his victims only had themselves to blame Herve Leger sale, News Ltd reported.
Haigh was jailed for life over the murders of six people in the late 1970s. He also helped a sex offender hang himself in Pentridge Prison in 1991.
He has filed an application to seek a minimum non-parole term.
Mr McNamara said Haigh was remorseless and he would write to the Victorian government in a bid to prevent the book being released.
“You can’t let these people out. You can see he’s learnt nothing by putting out something like that.”

It’s the Saturday after Turkey Day, one of the best times of the year to dump bad news on a distracted public, but few seem to have taken advantage of the opportunity. The Washington Post leads with a walk-up on President Bush’s Tuesday Middle East peace conference in Annapolis. The Los Angeles Times goes with a more upbeat assessment of the conference’s chances. The New York Times leads with an evergreen—for the next year, at least—about the diminished expectations for Bush’s remaining time in office. The Wall Street Journal takes a prominent look at student opposition to Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez. The Post and NYT both have front-page photos of a capsized cruise ship that sank in icy waters.
Bush, writes the Post, will conduct three rounds of personal diplomacy with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, but hopes are not high for progress, despite the announcement that Saudi Arabia will send high-level representatives to the conference.
