...mistake - the man who once asked an enraged neo-Nazi if he used moisturizer is still willing to go places you wouldn't go in body armor. So he gives us Brüno on a camping trip trying to seduce some revolted Alabama hunters; Brüno getting belt-whipped - hard - by a nude dominatrix; Brüno in a steel-cage match melting into wet kisses with his opponent while the crowd goes wild - and not in a good way. But even when Brüno is in a hotel room infuriating members of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades...

The WHO offers a series of intuitive fixes for this growing problem: buckle down on speed limits, reduce drunk driving and tighten seat-belt laws.

...Latino voters cast about 2% of all votes. Last year it was 9%, and Obama won that Hispanic vote with a crushing 35-point margin. By 2030, the Latino share of the vote is likely to double. In Texas, the crucial buckle for the GOP's Electoral College belt, the No. 1 name for new male babies - many of whom will vote one day - is Jose. Young voters are another huge GOP problem. Obama won voters under 30 by a record 33 points. And the young voters of today, while certainly capable of changing their minds, do become all voters...
