| Giants need to admit Cowboys are better
We don't need to overhaul. (Carbo - the Jets have hit rock bottom how many times since 1969...it sure hasn't helped them has it?). If this team is mentally tough enough (the jury is still out on this one, I'll admit), they will file this one away and march on. .
Analysis: Headlines in 2007 left Americans frustrated
Called before Congress in April, he found more than 70 ways to say he could not remember what had happened. Any day now, pundits speculated, Gonzales could take the fall. By the time Gonzales finally did resign effective in September, the focus on right or wrong had largely been replaced by a grinding frustration over why resolution - any resolution - had taken so long. Even when it ended, it did so without clarity. That story was hardly unique. After a while it became difficult to separate the frustration built into many of the year's biggest news stories from a public mood of resigned exasperation.

It's not about rate cuts
As the Fed meets today and tomorrow in Washington, there's less certainty than ever about what the bank will do next. Financial markets are primed for a half-a-percentage-point rate cut tomorrow. Trading in federal funds futures, for example, puts the odds of a 0.5-point reduction at 80 per cent. But with the U.S. economy teetering on the brink of recession - maybe even in one already -- the Fed seems a bit lost. With all its economists and sophisticated models, the Fed missed the severity of the housing slump and the sharp rise in foreclosures. It also underestimated the spillover effect on credit markets.
