    The House ethics panel has not released its findings into the behavior of Mark Foley, the Florida Republican who left Congress in disgrace, despite looming adjournment and an October promise that the probe would conclude in "weeks, not months." Speculation was raised that a report on the Foley scandal would be issued this afternoon, but staffers for the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct did not respond to rumors sweeping through Capitol Hill. Mr. Foley resigned Sept. 29 when it was revealed that he sent sexually explicit messages to teenage boys who had served as congressional pages. That day, House...

    This week multiple news organizations honored Obama. In his hometown the Chicago Sun Times named him on of the "Year's Biggest" local stories... "Obama charged onto the national stage at the Democratic National Convention in July with an acclaimed keynote speech declaring "in no other country on earth is my story even possible.'' When his campaign to get to Washington was beginning, Obama himself joked about his name, which he received from his Kenyan father, calling it a possible political liability. But behind the jokes, Obama ran a serious, textbook-perfect campaign. And on the campaign trail, he appealed to...
