...Yorker, contributes two brilliant cartoons about situations in which technology has harmed relationships. David Wain, co-writer of “Wet Hot American Summer,” offers a script about a guy trying to date a woman who keeps blowing him off. Tom McCarthy, an actor and writer who has appeared in movies like “Meet The Parents,” delivers one of the most touching chapters.

What Huckabee lacked in resources he more than made up for in showmanship, including campaign tours with actor Chuck Norris and professional wrestler Ric Flair. In a Republican field of awkward campaigners, Huckabee shined as a rare politician who mastered the art of oratory. His style, filled with emotion and alliteration, followed the rolling pace of a Baptist preacher, his former profession.

...edge of womanhood. Her blue coat with red piping and mismatched buttons becomes a symbol of unconventionality, as little girls go trick-or-treating in lower-budget versions of it. McAvoy is a wonderful leading man and Catherine O’Hara is perfect as an overbearing mom. Another actor, Simon Woods, pops off the screen as Edward, an utterly repulsive upper-class twit.
