But despite Bush’s ouster of Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, we still don’t know if the power shift in Washington will be truly dramatic, or merely significant. Republicans no longer have a lock on Washington. That’s a big deal. But it will be a far bigger deal if the Democrats ultimately win the Senate. They might: the Virginia race looks to be heading into the dreaded land of the recount. In other words, What It All Means is going to take a while to sort out....

Having a cast is usually not as much fun as we thought it would be when we were kids. So why not make the best of it and brighten your day, as well as those around you.

Although it’s deeper with plenty more first-round pop than the mediocre 2013 class, it’s more a question of quality vs. quantity. As much as Johnny Manziel, Blake Bortles, Teddy Bridgewater are being hyped at the top, none of them has close to the feel of Andrew Luck in ’12. Or even feel as worthy as Cam Newton in ’11. While those three current prospects are battling for the top the board, it’s hard to buy any of them as No....

Not so quickly, after all. A White House spokesperson confirms that Gates will be sworn in as the new Defense secretary “in the new year,” a good two weeks after his confirmation. According to the White House, Gates needs extra time to wind up affairs as president of Texas A&M University. But that’s news in College Station, Texas, where Gates has been handing everything over to the man he calls “my strong right arm,” the executive vice president and provost, David Pratt....

Ahead of the closing arguments in the case, attorney Kevin Gough, who is representing defendant William “Roddie” Bryan, complained to the judge that the trial was being influenced by forces outside the courtroom in his motion seeking a mistrial. “This is not 1915. This is not 1923. There are not thousands of people outside with pitchforks and baseball bats, but I would respectfully submit to the court that this is the 21st-century equivalent,” Gough told the court....

The Spanish and European champions’ stuttering season saw them stumble again in La Liga’s title race on Sunday, when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Celta Vigo.

The maximum fine will be capped at 100 days, which accumulates into $5,000. Political action committees could be a major target of the law....

The next morning the prisoners were trucked to another makeshift jail in the town of Ghazni, 80 miles from Kabul. Within moments the daily round of airstrikes began–bombs exploding, guns firing, the walls of the jail shaking from the blasts. From the window the hostages saw Taliban soldiers fleeing the town. Then, an eerie silence. Thirty long minutes passed and suddenly there came a violent rattling at the door. “We thought it was the Taliban coming back, and it was the end of the road,” said Mercer, who had been captured, along with the other rest of her group, in early August, before the U....

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has received mixed reviews throughout her tenure as the first-ever woman in that position. Less than two months from the election, poll tracker FiveThirtyEight is giving the GOP a 74 in 100 chance of retaking the House. The same poll tracker gives Democrats the edge, by 70 in 100, retaining their majority in the Senate. “I have always said, I think it’s time we have new leadership,” Slotkin said Friday on CNN’s New Day when asked about Pelosi at the helm....
