Kanye West may have posed as Jesus in 2006, and Nas did it almost 10 years ago now, but British rap artist Mike Skinner (performing under the stage name The Streets) ushers in a new age of hip-hop evangelism. In his new video “Heaven for the Weather,” he is Dr. M. Skinner, motivational speaker and spiritual guiding light, out to “help people from all walks of life” find their way. Dr. Skinner has quite a following. His auditorium is packed with cheering fans. Devotees old and young, bearded...
...profits from the money his orphans bring in from the streets.The difference between the orphans in “Oliver Twist” and those in “Slumdog” is that Boyle allows his to grow up. Different actors play Jamal, Salim, and Latika at different ages; the youngest ones are universally adorable, particularly young Jamal (Tanay Chedda), who is cute even after crawling through a swamp of human feces.

When I met with him, he was stirring a pot of murky water with muslin sacks of barley...
...snappy line, the kind of zinger McCain loved. But as with so many of his attack lines during the campaign, this one didn't resonate with voters. The jab was based on an outdated caricature of Chicago, and more than anything, it further underscored McCain's age. What he and fellow Republicans didn't (and probably still don't) understand is that being from Chicago is now an asset for a presidential candidate, not a liability...
