...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.

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...
