| Politician. Yes, they always have to have their hands out, and their reputation isn't sparkling, but most politicians I've met try diligently to be fine leaders. And while the wheels of government may seem to turn slowly and inefficiently, at least its goal is benevolent. No specific training is required to be a politician, although you must be instantly likable and a compelling speaker. The biggest downside is job instability. But if after a couple of losses you decide to switch careers, the connections you've made will very likely help you land a job. |

| I participated in a panel at the Hudson Institute November 30 on dual citizenship. Hudson's John Fonte presented a paper on dual citizenship and the dangers it poses to the United States. Fonte decried the Mexican statute that allows Mexicans who become U.S. citizens to retain their Mexican citizenship. I agreed with Fonte that dual citizenship does pose problems. But I questioned whether, as a practical matter, these problems are so great. I agreed that Mexican officials want to perpetuate their citizens' loyalty to Mexico, even after they become U.S. citizens. But how great is that loyalty? |

| Rescue teams are racing against time to find two miners separated from their crew as they were escaping a fire, officials said. "Time is not our friend," said West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin. "The longer the time goes, the more difficult it becomes, so we're concerned about that."

| The Sunni politician whom American journalist Jill Carroll reportedly had planned to interview the morning she was kidnapped called Friday for her release. In a statement he said: "I promise you again, I'll do my best to release this journalist. Kidnapping her is an act against the Iraqi people." Carroll's captors have threatened to kill her by a 72-hour deadline, set to expire sometime Friday, unless the U.S. military releases all female Iraqi prisoners. |
