Khaled Altarkeet is so frustrated, he is “self-deporting.” After an immigration quagmire left his business visa in limbo, the owner of a popular cafe across from San Jose State University has closed his business, let go his half dozen employees, donated the leftover food to Catholic Charities and, on Wednesday, will board a plane with his wife and four children to fly back to his home country of Kuwait. “I’m shutting the business and forgetting the United States,” said Altarkeet, sitting for the last time in the empty cafe with the chairs stacked on the tables last week. “I will...

Pictures from a tea party protest in near the Walnut Creek, CA BART station this afternoon: Spoke to the bald guy on the right for some time. He tells me that he's been going around on his own dime for quite some time now. He did note that he saw more birds than an Audubon Society member, typical of the Kool-Aid drinkers here in the Bay-Airhead area!

Lakeville, Mass. -- They may be separated by no more than a liquor store counter, a yard fence or a narrow road strewn with the withered oak leaves of autumn. The constant images of George W. Bush and John Kerry on their television screens have been replaced by scenes of fighting in Fallujah and the death of Yasser Arafat. But the rifts in this small Massachusetts town, almost two weeks after the presidential election, remain so deep and so persistent that friends and neighbors wonder whether they can ever be repaired. "We have to unite, or else we're going to...
