When you spend a lot of time with your significant other, it's easy for him or her to know the ins and outs of your personality and what it is that makes you tick. Often times one partner can end up knowing the other better than they know themselves.
Body language is a very powerful way to communicate, especially when you're upset about something. I'm always shocked when the people I'm closest with know there's something wrong even when I don't vocalize it. Has that ever happened to you? Ladies, do tell, does your significant other know when you're mad or sad before you even tell him?
The New York Times Editorial Board has officially endorsed presidential candidates. Hillary Clinton and John McCain nabbed the coveted nods. In its endorsement, the Times praises Obama nearly as much as Clinton, but concludes that she is the one with the requisite experience and ability. In choosing McCain, they cite his character, his willingness to judge each issue on its face, and ability to build bipartisan support. Nothing complimentary was said about any of the other Republican candidates.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said yesterday that American forces were "ready, willing, and able," to conduct joint operations with Pakistan against al-Qaeda strongholds. Suicide bombings have grown from five incidents in 2006 to 60 in 2007. Concentrating on the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, the effort would aim to help the Pakistani troops stop al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters who have killed 700 Pakistani soldiers. A military assessment states, "insurgents are focusing more on gains and expansion opportunities in Pakistan."
Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi has resigned following a no-confidence vote in the parliament. Italy's electoral laws, which favor larger parties, meant that when Prodi's small, centrist, Udeur party lost three seats, Prodi no longer had a majority of support. Opposition leader and former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi celebrated the vote, opening champagne on the parliament floor, and immediately announced a party where he said, "We will say what we want to do in the first 100 days of our government."

My boyfriend and I broke up last Saturday after a two and a half year relationship. In the beginning we weren't very compatible, but we somehow made it work. However, a few months ago he broke up with me (out of the blue) and we got back together with the understanding that we could see other people. While he was never interested in doing so, I recently went out on a date with a really sweet guy I had met a few days prior and have a second date lined up next week. I have a few problems — we have the same friends, which will make group events possibly difficult. If I begin to see this guy, or somebody else, I think my ex will be crushed since he was much more upset about the breakup than I was, even though he initiated it. I could see the demise of our relationship coming for the past few months and was able to accept it better than he could. Please help, I'm so confused!

Representative Ron Paul, the only Republican presidential candidate to oppose the Iraq War, thinks the United States should not be the world's policeman. According to Paul, spreading democracy results in unacceptable consequences. Paul told ABC News:
We're spreading our goodness in Iraq, [and] we can't do that without dropping bombs on them and killing a lot of people.
When the interviewer suggested that if we don't attack them there, they will attack us here, Paul argued that an American presence overseas inspires hatred and attacks against the US, especially when bases are in Muslim holy areas.
