4th of July - Nothing to Celebrate
As Americans gear up for the 4th of July, one wonders what there is to celebrate. Many families have canceled travel plans due to the high prices of gas. The new and ridiculous airline regulations regarding baggage also present another major challenge to would-be travelers. The airline industry is already hurting and this may end up seeing the end of yet more airline companies. This "holiday" usually begins the summer travel season.

EU's Stockholm Syndrome
Last week the Russian President was welcoming currently presiding in the EU Germany's Angela Merkel and the President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso in the picturesque Volga riverside resort near the city of Samara. However smiling and positive the leaders seemed, the awesome sunny weather currently reigning in Russia somewhat contradicted the troublesome atmosphere at the summit.
To the Future with Luck?This was Ms. Rice's seventh visit to Russia in the capacity of the US Secretary of State. And "the Lucky 7" was obviously meant to ? what Ms Rice herself called ? “halt a dramatic slide in U.S.-Russian relations.”
