...boredom in its weaker momentsÂsimply wait five minutes, and a gag that is moderately entertaining is bound to occur. While some of the skits of the film feel repetitive or uncreative, Silverman’s poise is at least a constant throughout the piece. She is surprisingly calm on stage for all the dynamism of her jokes, and her deadpan manner, which makes her seem almost shocked at herself, is amusing, if not truly hilarious in a few situations. However, even her engaging performance fails to make the film truly memorable, much less “Magic...
...predecessor, this one speaks understandable English, too-speaks, in fact, of many things: Its likes (world domination) and dislikes (when you press Shift1, Shift2, Shift3 and D at the same time).

Johnson-Sirleaf, the first female President in Africa, must now calm Weah's supporters and start rebuilding the West African nation, which suffered through two civil wars and the misrule of former President Charles Taylor until the United Nations intervened...
...Internet last week in an effort to stop the street riots. They shut down blogs and arrested scribes for so-called moblogging, i.e., rallying rioters with incendiary language. Entries on SKYBLOG ranged from urging malcontents to "unite ... and burn the cops" to reasoning that "we have to be calm; if not, all of this will come to nothing." Across the Atlantic, bloggers were enraged and agog. BARKING MOONBAT EARLY WARNING SYSTEM deemed the assault on free speech the "Most Ridiculous Item of the Day," adding sarcastically, "I never realized we bloggers had this much power...
