...cockpit of modernity, the Paris of Picasso, Matisse, Derain and Vlaminck. Some of the first canvases in this show are portraits of women painted in Modigliani's earliest style, a gaunt Expressionism bearing all the signs of Edvard Munch and Picasso's by then discarded Blue Period, undertaken with broken brushwork learned from the canvases of Cezanne. It's competent, even sometimes a bit chilling in that entertaining woman-as-vampire mode of Expressionism. All the same, it's derivative of styles and psychological preoccupations that the Left Bank was leaving behind...
Even a tough guy like "Thor," an ex-Army Ranger from Dallas, is haunted by his experience. He suffered two broken shoulders, a torn rotator cuff and loss of vision in one eye while getting shot at, bombed and almost stabbed by an Iraqi who tried to drag him out of his cab.

Opportunities to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil were largely ignored under Reagan and Bush Sr. and were not a top priority during the Clinton administration when oil prices were historically low. However, the current Bush administration has broken new ground in irresponsible policy-making with the current energy bill, which is deadlocked in the Senate. Not only does the bill contain $25 billion in pork barreling, it does absolutely nothing to deal with U.S. energy demand in the future and instead includes a number of politically motivated provisions...
