Shy friend needs girl to ask him out
I have a good friend who has always struggled with girls. This one girl has really come on to him. She posts on his Facebook wall (usually pictures of herself, which I find odd) and asks why he didn’t text in a couple days. It’s clear, at least to me and in the eyes of others, that she really likes him. However, a friend of his really likes her too. I keep telling him that if she isn’t into that other guy, then it sucks to be him. I’ve been where that friend is, and yes, it sucks, but he will get over it.

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Democratic dream of Arab Spring falls to Islamist ascendency
Post-revolutionary Libya appears to have elected a relatively moderate pro-Western government. Good news, but tentative because Libya is less a country than an oil well with a long beach and myriad tribes.
