The Good news? they link to a Danielle Steele interview...LINK

Bush had signed an agreement for India to get fuel for it's nuclear power plants, but for some reason it was held up by an "international organization"...turns out it was China trying to screw India...but the deal was okayed anyway...

Another Bush triumph that won't get in the headlines, and another geopolitical item that will be ignored in favor of stories on Sarah Palin's eyeglasses.
