...particularly grateful to the angel on my shoulder who whispered in my ear several summers ago when I was riding in a dude ranch rodeo and my horse stopped suddenly, catapulting me forward. Though I was in the air for just a few seconds, it felt like slow motion, and I registered several thoughts in order. "My children are watching. I could really do some damage if I fall badly. My husband's roommate's mother was paralyzed from a riding accident. Most bones are broken when muscles are in flexion." So while I was airborne I consciously relaxed...
Some House Republicans are starting to feel pressure at home over their hard-line stance. In Reading, Pa., a Hispanic lawyer named Angel Figueroa arranged a meeting last month for his Congressman Jim Gerlach--who faces a tight race this fall--and voters in his district who oppose the House bill, which Gerlach supported.

What begins as a noble moral intention to bring down a tyrant becomes a political disaster and a gigantic step backward in the long, necessary war against fascislamism. A field of ruins...
...James Cameron, after doing Titanic, the all-time top grosser, stopped making feature films to shoot underwater documentaries with his favorite new toy, the 3-D camera. Going back to his old camera, he told ComingSoon.net "just seemed like going back from a car to a bicycle." Battle Angel, his first feature since 1997, will be shown in 3-D. (And yes, with the funny glasses.) Lucas is planning to release all six Star Wars episodes in 3-D as well...
