...summer session begins, she blesses her camp's fairly sophisticated audio-visual system to make certain the devil doesn't get into it and make it go blooey at some inopportune moment. One of the high points of the week's merriment is the introduction of a life-size cardboard cut-out of George W. Bush, which is frankly treated as if it was something like a communion's wine and wafers - a transubstantiation of a living...
...Hint: It's not the one in which a slacker named Stephane (Bernal) confuses his busy dream life with his languid existence in reality. In his mind's eye he often hosts an imaginary TV show - the cameras and sets are made of cardboard boxes cunningly repurposed - where he does cooking spots in which he makes metaphorical stews out of random thoughts and memories to demonstrate how dreams are made.

To show off musical instruments, they paraded as a marching band in front of the video camera so Daddy could see them. She insisted on buying extra workbooks to expand their home-schooling curriculum. "You make it difficult on yourself," Rusty says he told...
...even talk about the war!" he said with pseudo amazement when he began to take questions. The challenger obviously is out to prove he is more than a single issue anti-Joe. That will be a tough sell, since Lamont's positions on most other issues seem standard cardboard purchased from the Democratic Campaign Depot store. And there is no getting away from the war. The first few questions from the Indian Americans were about Iraq. In answering them, Lamont revealed an additional weakness. He doesn't have a clue about what he'd do about the war beyond...
