Just this past week, a new neighborhood in the southeastern part of Jerusalem was approved in the area now known as Givat HaMatos with 2,610 apartments. Apparently some of the units will be reserved for an extension of the Arab neighborhood Beit Safafa, although why is beyond me.

In a vote of 333-79, the House voted today to censure Charlie Rangel. It's the most serious penalty they could give him short of expulsion.

Ken Clarke, the new Lord Chancellor, has chosen not to make use of the opulent Westminster apartments that come with the post.

Substantial his and hers Mercs for the hard-working Dorries Mum-P and House Husband would be muchly appreciated. Run arounds for staff would be lovely yes. Seems like bloody miles to the Bla...

Luxury apartments and large homes in sought after areas will be ineligible for housing benefit claims under new rules designed to crack down on lavish pay outs.

A Terror Cell Is Uncovered In Queens Najibullah Zazi is arrested along with his father and another man, charged with plotting a terrorist act against our country. Raids on apartments found the bomb making material, and information found on a computer showed the blueprint for making the bombs.

What a coincidentally apt place the great City of Manchester is for this year’s Party Conference. We know the City today for its regeneration, glut of apartments, nearby Coronation Street, and a vague notion of an industrial glory built upon...

Unknown gunmen assassinated 30 Mahdi Army commanders in the Syrian capital Damascus. The killings, made in the past few weeks, were all made "quietly, inside the victims apartments", said an unnamed source in the Sadr movement. The source added that among those assassinated was Laith al-Ka'bi, who commanded the Mahdi Army in the Palestine Street neighborhood in eastern Baghdad. The report adds
