Whether early or late, the Parker novels are all superlative literary entertainments.
I think Putin has already gotten used to the idea of Obama and his secretary of state, John Kerry, making noise - it just doesn't seem to impress Moscow at all.
The American challenge in leading the world is compounded by our Constitution.
We have to frankly break the back of the secular-socialist machine, elect people committed to representing the American people, and then methodically rip the system apart.

But what I really long to know you do not tell either: what you feel, although I've given you hints by the score of my regard. You like me.
