...that Caramel is dopy. It may be a first film, but Labaki, employing a cast that is full of non-professional actresses, is a slick and knowing filmmaker.

I suppose, in the end, you'd have to say that her film is no big deal - just another good-looking, gently humorous, pleasantly romanticized little comedy, which ends with everyone a little wiser than they began.

...Early voting could also be a problem for Obama. Up to half of the four million likely California Democratic voters are expected to vote before primary day, as more than a million already have done, and many of those have doubtless cast their votes before Obama gained new momentum after winning in South Carolina.

The yawning chasm between what was promised in that campaign and what the Democratic Congress has actually delivered makes everyone with seniority in Washington automatically suspect. Joseph Biden and Christopher Dodd probably have socks that have spent more time in the Senate than has Obama, and look what...
